It's possible that the Adwaita theme appeared on the theme list when I installed the Gnome Tweak Tool, without my doing anything else. I certainly didn't install it deliberately or knowingly, and I don't think it was there when I first opened "Appearances".

I hope to find time to do that sometime today. --Jean On Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 07:02, Tom Davies <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi :) > I am going to try to stay with Unity on the VM install if i can.
