About themes, what I do is to specify a non-existent theme, then add a few 
settings to tweak the appearance, which is much like the old one.

Here is what I put in MyLeoSettings.leo:

@settings
    @string theme-name = xxtbp_default_theme
    No-theme Appearance Settings
        @string font-size = 10pt 
        @string font-family = Consolas, Droid Sans Mono, DejaVu Sans Mono, 
sans-serif
    Gutter Settings
        @bool use_gutter = True
        @int gutter-y-adjust = 5

You will probably want to change the font to something that is on the Mac 
that you like.  I only have all those fonts to be able to get something 
reasonable on a variety of Windows and Linux machines I sometimes use (I 
copy the file to each of them when I set them up with Leo).  You might need 
to tweak the gutter-y-adjust to suit your font.

The theme name points to a theme file that doesn't exist.  Leo doesn't use 
the default theme if it can't find the one you specify here, and instead 
gives you the old appearance. That seems a bit odd, but I'm very glad of 
it.  I hope that Edward doesn't decide to change it.
