<para>The GNOME appearance preference tool enables you to select how your

GNOME desktop is themed. The theme controls the appearance of GNOME-compliant

application interface items. For example, the theme affects the appearance of

buttons, scrollbar, check boxes, and so on. This preference tool can also be

used to configure the background image, fonts used by the desktop, and the

visual appearance of the GNOME panel.
