11.04 with Unity: hit super + a and start typing appearance. It will come back with this:

11.10 should be the same.

Alternatively you can go to the logout button, system settings and it will be under 'Personal`:

I think I read in 11.10 this method have been moved elsewhere.

And to make sure it is installed. Open a terminal and type locate appearance. It should at least show a line with /usr/bin/gnome-appearance-properties. If not appearances is not installed and you could try Ubuntu Software Center to search for it. If it does type gnome-appearance-properties and see if that shows it.
