I tried playing with Nostromo appearance and I'm a bit confused. I selected the 
Nostromo interface and hit the Customize button. I changed the popup (I assume 
for colors) from Nostromo Default to Shiny and nothing happened. At least until 
I hit the Set Colors button. Why have the button? Why not just make the change 
when the popup is set?

The little warning below didn't make much sense to me. Where were the "pre-set 
themes"? Was that what was in the popup? Which current theme won't be shown? 
The one I select in the popup? So I experimented and hit the Set Colors button, 
and didn't like any of the themes. Fair enough.

I went back to the main Appearance tab and selected Bezel (Built-in) and found 
all my color customizations had been lost. I really didn't expect changes I 
made in a screen specifically for Nostromo, would affect other things. Perhaps 
the warning was trying to get that across, but it didn't for me.

I gather that there's one appearance/color settings for quicksilver and not one 
per interface. This makes sense when both interface choice and colors are not 
the same pref screen (aka at the same level). I think the relationship is far 
less obvious if you hit a button to customize an interface and go to a new pref 
screen.

Perhaps it would be nicer to have color settings per interface and a way to 
copy them from one interface to another. 

I get that that's a bigger change. In the short term I think the Nostromo prefs 
would be better to remove the Set Colors button and to move the warning before 
the popup and to change the text to something like: 

Select color themes for Nostromo here. WARNING: Selecting a theme changes the 
color settings in the main Appearance preferences and therefore all other 
interfaces.

Maybe there should be a preview button to let you look without committing.
