In Microsoft SharePoint, I'd like to change the way document libraries display as well as the web parts?

If you want to change the look and feel of document libraries and / or web parts, you can either edit the CSS or the master page for your SharePoint Site. This can easily be done using the Microsoft Office SharePoint designer. The definitive (IMO) blog on SharePoint design and branding is Heather Solomon's blog where you will find many articles about this.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
