Is there a way to change the hideous appearance of VS11?

If possible, I would like to reskin it to resemble the elegant, eye-pleasing appearance of VS2010 (Menu titles that don't yell at me in ALL UPPERCASE, colored toolbar icons, etc.)

I've looked for appearance options, but so far all I've found is a switch between light and dark themes.

Thanks.

Not at the moment but in the upcoming RC the look is back in color.
Take a look at the screenshots:

Personally I like the new revised look but not really the all caps menu.
