Hi Raffael,


There are two aspects on that question. The disposition of the HTML 
elements depends on the module that is used and SOGo and OGo modules 
are quite different. So you cannot take a module from SOGo or its 
template files and put it in OGo while hoping it will work. What you 
can do is change the templates in OGo to give them a similar look and 
feel.

The other aspect has to do with the CSS. The colors of the buttons, 
the size of the font, the aspect of the buttons when you pass over 
them with the mouse.... is all done in CSS. And although there is no 
easy way to take SOGo's CSS files and plug them into OGo, you could 
also modify OGo's CSS files to obtain the same graphical effects. Of 
course, a few images will need to be transferred as well...

All in all, unless you need all the features of OGo why don't you 
simply use SOGo?
