To modify your workspaces, right-click on the \emph{workspace switcher} applet (by default this is on the right side of the bottom panel, just to the left of the Trash applet) and select \button{Preferences}. In the window that appears you can choose how many workspaces you want in total, and whether these will be displayed on the panel in one or more rows. You can also rename each workspace, and have the names displayed in the panel applet. If you prefer, you can also choose to just have the workspace you are currently using displayed in the panel. In this case, you can still change between workspaces by moving the mouse over the workspace switcher and scrolling the mouse wheel.

The \window{Appearance Preferences} window will initially display the \button{Theme} tab when it opens. Here you can select a theme that will control the appearance of your windows, buttons, scroll bars, panels, icons, and other parts of the desktop. The ``Ambiance'' theme is used by default, but there are seven other themes you can choose from. Just click once on the theme you want to try, and the changes will take effect immediately.

You can download additional themes by clicking the ``Get More Themes Online'' link at the bottom of this window. Your web browser will open and take you to \url{http://art.gnome.org/themes/}, where you can download new themes from a large selection. Once you have downloaded a theme, locate the file on your computer (using \application{Nautilus}) and drag it across to the Themes window. This will add it to your list of available themes, and a window will appear asking whether you want to apply the changes immediately.
