Desktop Environment Theme Settings

Use the Widget Theme tabbed section of the Theme preference tool to select a theme for your desktop environment. Your desktop environment theme specifies the visual appearance of your panels, menus, and applets. The desktop environment theme also specifies the appearance of GNOME-compliant application interface items. For example, the theme affects the appearance of buttons, scrollbars, check boxes, and so on.

You can choose from the list of available themes, or you can install new themes. The list of available desktop environment themes includes several themes for users with accessibility requirements.
