Hi :) I am going to try to stay with Unity on the VM install if i can. It's not easy to work out how to do things except open Firefox and LibO.
Ok, i installed 11.10 (on the VM) and opened "Appearances" but only get 4 themes. Ambience = dark Radiance = nice orange, feels light and airy high contrast = fairly unpleasant high contrast inverse = also unpleasant If i have success downloading and dropping the Xp-silver them i will get back to you.
