The theme should be consistent in OOo, Evolution, Mozilla. Or whatever other combination of applications needed for a productivity desktop. Menus should be consistent too... My desktops have been themed to imitate Mac OS for as long as I can remember for the simple reason that I have to switch back and forth between Linux and Mac OS quite often. Having similar looking desktops helps reduce confusion - thus increasing productivity. As far as I can see it is as simple as that. If you want to migrate a user from Mac OS or Windows to a Linux desktop then theme the desktop to be as close as possible to the OS version she is used to. Later they can be weened when the fear of change has gone. Cheers Tony Grant -- www.tgds.net Library management software toolkit
