Of course, if someone wants an OS that works exactly like Win XP, Win 7, Linux in its various renditions, OS X, NeXTSTEP, Win 98, AmigaOS, Haiku, or what-have-you, then they are best to use that particular OS. Not much use people complaining that one is not the same as another and writing all but ones own off as not being any good as some are inclined to do (often even on the basis of hearsay).

Another problem with choosing a high contrast theme is that you then can't use IE because a lot of things on a lot of websites are not visible when using system colors. In Win 7 when using high contrast you can't turn off system colors in IE. I have accessibility in IE set to use system colors, but at least I can turn them off when webpages are missing buttons or icons or other text and see what's missing. I remember going to a Microsoft 'help' website about accessibility and I couldn't even leave a comment without turning off system colors because buttons were missing.
Thanks for suggestions though.
