Hi Don,
I'm just a novice on Emacs at the moment, but the first thing I did to
get Emacs looking good was to add
(color-theme-gray30)
to my ~/.emacs file (but then I tweaked it to get the comments to not
be italic). grey30 rocks. :)
To choose a theme you like, quit Emacs, run "sudo apt-get install
emacs-color-schemes", then open up Emacs and go the "Tools --> Color
Themes" menu item. When the new buffer opens, just scroll down and hit
RET for each one 'til you find one you like. Once you've chosen one, do
"Options --> Save Options".
