I started doing this project for my own personal reasons, the fact is Horde was not giving me what i wanted. I have a few corporate clients that will not use horde because even though it does the same as say something like the Exchange webmail client it does not look as polished and thus they simply will not use it.
I have also fielded questions from customers, (customers that are new to webhosting), that are quite lost with all the differing interfaces and from my perspective it makes sence to have a more uniform look to the services i offer, thus cutting back on some of the calls and emails.
I have also become quite tired of making mods that i feel give me a more professional look that simply get overwritten by a plesk upgrade.
I have also read countless postes, (in other forums), of people not using horde simply because of the way it looks and opting for a much less robust webmail program because it looks like it does a better job.
I do not just offer webmail services through plesk to my clients, i have actually been using horde exclusively for over 2 years so i do see it from the perspective of the end user. IMHO Horde is by far one of the best webmail programs available.
So taking all that into consideration i decided to make all my changes, and rap it up in an install script of some kind to save me countless hours of work as for me time is money. At the same time i was wondering if anyone else felt the same or had experienced some of these things with thier own customers, so i asked if anyone was interested.
This is not just a simple webmail theme. If no one is interested that is perfectly ok as i will end up with something for myself that my customers will drool over. I am still going to finish this project and i am going to encorporate everything that makes mine and my clients lives easyier. But going from the posts here i'd have to say that there are some people that might be interested.

The icons used in the screen shots are mostly GPL'ed some are plesks, please remember that the screen shots were taken from something that i use myself and was not intended to be sold as is. I simply wanted to see if there was any interest.
Obvoiusly the final product will have completely original icons and look much better than the screen shots, even though i do believe using GPL'ed icons is acceptable i won't be using them.
