[GNC] Changing colors and layout on 4.8

[AC]

I'm familiar with those distinctions but it gets more complicated than 
that.  In this particular case, my account is local (the machine is 
standalone and not part of a domain) yet some software still uses 
Roaming rather than Local for storage.

Local isn't just for local accounts.  Some data belonging to a domain 
user will also end up in Local for data that is specific to the machine 
you are using at the time which doesn't make sense to synchronize across 
machines.  In the end it's up to the application itself to decide where 
to write data by selecting the appropriate API calls, Windows doesn't 
enforce one over the other.
