I think we should drop the word "Look" and replace it with
"Appearance". Yes, it's longer, but as a native English speaker I find
the use of  "look" as a noun to be a bit awkward. Yes, "look" can be
used this way, but it generally implies appearance in the context of
personal fashion or style. I feel "Appearance" is more direct.

I agree with others that the "International" is a bad name. People
rarely set up PCs for users in other countries, they set them up for
local users. "International" could also be interpreted as being a bit
US centric, implying that if you don't match the defaults, you're
foreign and weird. :)

Anyway, I very much think this is a step in the right direction. The
advanced tab always bothered me. Good work.
