Allen, I have changed both the fonts and the colors. I use a customized version of Xfce 4 Dusk theme. The point that Amir and I made is that the fobt choices in Windows are of better quality than those in Uvunut. Also, in Windows I can change the color of hyperlinks globally from the default blue to say yellow which shows up better against black background, but in Ubuntu Ican only do it for a select few porgrams, not every program. Ones sthat I cannot change it in is Thunderbird or Life rea or Evolution. And with the email programs, there are color issues related to what appears to be poor integration with my choice of theme, especially in the calendar section. I am not a developer. I am a writer and I need my computer to be as user-firendly for me as possible with as little hacking on my part as possible. I do not have the technical skills to do serious hacking and if I tried, chance are, I'd make a mess of things. I really would like to get Ubuntu to the point where it did what I needed it to do so I could stop switching back and forth so much and use Vista only for the games that are Windows only which I play with my 12 year-old son. I have no love for Bill gates or the Borg of Redmond. The less I need to use Windows the happier I'll be. Allen Graham wrote: > Why don't you just change the fonts and colors ?
