I read often messages that are about the mailtool, and what follows 
routinely is the
correct answer of Jon that this needs major code additions and better 
use other programs
like thunderbird.

But of course other programs do not blend nicely with the desktop as far 
as the looks are concerned.
You can see here:

<http://myria.math.aegean.gr/%7Eatsol/tmp/test-gtk.jpg>

that it is possible to integrate at least colorwise all gtk apps that 
are important for a modern desktop.
Although the desktop is in Greek, you can see Gimp, LibreOffice, 
MozillaFirefox and Thunderbird
(I even open a menu on thunderbird to show the color change of the item 
below the mouse cursor)
blending nicely with the Golden color theme of CDE which I currently use.

OF course I will publish the way to do it. I hope I will have it ready 
in the next days.

But the question here is if CDE has to provide some mechanism to do this 
(for example I do this
kinda manually and if one changes the CDE color them, I have to redo 
everything from scratch).
I feel that CDE people are often reluctant of changes. However, without 
visually integrating
modern apps, CDE will not attract new (age-wise) users and programmers  
and I think it needs them.
