That was one of our ideas during our meeting at LInuxtag... ;-)
I think, we didn't follow this idea, because there was noone who wanted to put 
some work into it :-(
But you cannot solve all problems with a style. The "child mode" also changes 
the usage of background pictures, sounds and maybe also the complete layout 
and behaviour. 

About the fonts - I am still not confincend that a special font option is 
necessary only for edu apps. 
Annma - does your dauther have an own login? And how does KDE look if you 
choose a large font for all apps? Is this applicable?

Can font sizes be included into themes? And icon sets? And icon sizes, etc?

Greetings,
eva
