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.

You can also change the fonts used throughout your desktop through the Appearance Preferences window by clicking on the \button{Fonts} tab. You can individually set the font style and size for applications, documents, desktop items, window titles, and for anything using fixed width fonts. The Rendering section at the bottom of the Fonts tab gives you four options for changing the way that fonts are drawn on your screen. Changing these may improve the appearance of text on different types of monitors.
