Perhaps this is why most programs seem to be rather bland on first 
appearance compared to their windows counterparts.  There is so much to 
customise that it can be overwhelming at times.  Back tracking to undo 
something that's not quite right can be painful to find again, especially 
as I tend to get side tracked by another tweak that might look good.  Like 
a kid in a sweetshop rings true at times.

I have a new question that I cannot seem to find an answer to, so a new 
thread coming up.
