My problem with this is not individual settings like font size, but that I 
don't know how to modify them.  I tried copying specific settings to 
myLeoSettings.leo under a new node @theme Default, but they don't take 
effect.  When I open myLeoSettings.leo, then I seem to get some kind of 
strange hybrid between my old settings and the new theme.  This isn't 
really workable for me.

Also, when I use the menu item Settings/Edit A Theme File, the theme file 
opens in a new modal Leo window and the original Leo window is inactive.  
So I wouldn't be able to copy and paste any settings but only to modify the 
existing theme.

I don't want to modify the default theme file or my changes would be lost 
every time I use a new version of Leo.
