Aaron, 

back to basics: "Linux is about choice ... "

If I like to make my screen look like a space shuttle, jungle, igloo, anything 
that gives no idea what OS is running the show, or to mimic some other OS, it 
is my choice. 

If I can't get how to do that myself, can't find satisfying solutions on the 
web, and come here to ask people for advice, than I don't expect to read 
morals that is not right, but advice how to do that. 

In your example: 
Wish:     I want a Corvette interior and machinery with Mercedes exterior. 
Question: Do you know the shop that can do that?
 
The question was not is it right that I like that combination, the question 
was how to do it. Who can help me to fullfill my wish? 

If you don't like the idea, all you can do is to tell me that you don't like 
combination, but not five posts in the row. If you like solutions offered by 
manufacturers, have no money to pay for change, don't give a broken penny for 
car remodeling, that is fine with me, just don't harass me with your opinion. 
I will not change mine.
