A desktop theme affects not only the background but also the way that many buttons
and menu selections appear. Only a few themes are available for the window manager
(Metacity) in the Fedora distribution, but you can get a bunch of other themes from
themes.freshmeat.net (click Metacity).
Click Theme Details, and then click the Controls tab to choose the type of controls to
use on your desktop. Click the Window Border tab to select from different themes that
change the title bar and other borders of your windows. Click the Icons tab to choose
different icons to represent items on your desktop. Themes change immediately as you
click or when you drag a theme name on the desktop.

1. Click the System button from the panel.
2. Select Log Out from the menu. A pop-up window appears, asking if you want to Log
