Hi, Eilein,

Try installing either the "brightSqueak" or the "paloAlto" theme. 
(To install a theme, use the "change theme" button in the Squeak 
flap, or the "change them" menu item in the "appearance" branch of 
the desktop menu.)

When you "install a theme," a large number of individual preferences 
get set concurrently -- you can see precisely what each theme 
installs by choosing the "browse themes" item at the bottom of the 
themes menu.

After you've installed a theme, you may wish to fine-tune a few 
individual preferences to capture exactly the look and feel you 
prefer.

Cheers,

  -- Scott
