Honestly, the changes I'm talking about are basically making it a dark
background with light font. The reason is that it seems easier on my
eyes. I really don't care that much what looks good or any of
that.:) So no, I don't have one that I'm really working on - I'm
basically happy with anything that has the dark background, light
font.

For your other question about a modified template overriding the
originals: it doesn't. I modified the Simple template, and when I
copied it into the $HOME/.kde... directory, it just showed up twice -
once as the original and once as the "user template."

Hope this helps,
