I find that if I use Ctrl-W to close windows I never accidentally quit
the application. But I touch type (use the keyboard without looking at
it). Your mileage may vary...

I meant the themes in the Window Manager. If you are using Ubuntu, the
Appearance control panel has themes, and you can install additional
tools to make adjustments to those themes.

Now I understand better why you wanted to ask the developers about it.

I think the question is what area(s) you should start looking at (and
skills to learn) to make interface modifications, specifically to the
toolbar.
