[CoLoCo] Hardy Heron

I would really like to see a version of Ubuntu that allows you to change 
the colors of the system as a whole, not just bit by bit. I like green 
color schemes - they are very visually appealing and tranquil. But every 
doggone time I install Ubuntu, I have to hunt through seemingly 
countless system settings to change the colors of things. I still can't 
get the color of the background behind the Ubuntu splash screen at login 
time to be any other color than fleshy pink-brown. It's really ugly 
behind my custom green splash image. If there was a single drop-down 
somewhere that could change every color in the system, all the way from 
Metacity's window theme down to that background color, I would be a 
happy little penguinhead.
