I don’t know about Lotus Organizer but by looking at it looks like replicating a notebook on a screen ? Is that correct ? I do want to replicate that feeling of a white space. So I see the link.

Yes it could support themes for sure. You mean that you could choose from multiple pre-defined styles for a page ?

Yes, basically. The use of desktop real state worked quite well with the small resolutions of the time, and the throughout use of the skeumorphic metaphor was very friendly. As I said, it might be nostalgy speaking, I'd have to run it again to see if its usability has aged well.

Precisely. An actual wooden desktop theme would be nice.
