Yes and no. Yes, GOK is special in that it has an architecture for specifying lots of specific things within a layout to a great degree of detail. No, GOK isn't special in that users with impairments that require theme support may also be GOK users, and should get an "appropriate" response in GOK when they change themes.

>From a 508 perspective, while it may not make sense for GOK to mimic much of
the stuff in any given theme (e.g. leopard print backgrounds), there should at least be a GOK mode in which it respects color and size settings (e.g. foreground & background color, text font and text size). That way a user can affect everything all at once on their desktop, including their GOK.

As this is a new list and probably still a small community, I've explicitly cc-ed a few folks who should likely be part of this discussion, but who may not be on this list.
