No Mary,
Colours definitely changed on both my home and office machines...
At home I now have an interesting pastel pink and sort of yellow ochre with navy lines colour scheme whereas at the office I'm now looking at a rather smart navy/silver/orange and yellow scheme.
Interestingly, both my original schemes weren't much different from each other - I think I had silver at the office where I had light blue at home.
But you're right, we can always change our preferences...... unless I decide to keep the rather fetching pastel pink
.
Edit: Hey! I just got a smiley up by typing semi-colon, bracket!!!
