Another nice feature for the shell that makes life prettier. From the upper menu of the shell go to->Settings->Schema->Transparent, Light background. This will give the background of the desktop (whatever picture they have there). They will have to play with the font colors to be visible when they type a commands, but it's nicer than the dull black and white. This will give the WOW factor, while they can't do that on windows.
