No.
My post above doesn't address your theme color concerns, but it does explain exactly why the mouse-over effect for your buttons don't appear to work. Did you follow the procedure that I offered?I actually have my whole set of pages designed and they appear to be working fine - except for the navigation buttons rollover action ... Is there a tutorial or reference which can point me in the right direction?

Here is a doctored first page, showing a functioning home button ... that uses theme colors. Note that your supplied .web file had no named colors at all.

Hardot,
I used your .web and made the MouseOver buttons the red colour you have with the text About Us.
I created 4 named colours. One for MouseOff, one for MouseOver, one for Mouse Down, and one for your existing Text Outline colour.
There are other ways of using Named Colors and linked colours, shades of colours, and tints of colours.
I used the method of assigning a named colour to each of the main elements in your file rather than make things more complicated at this time.
I also added a 3rd layer called MouseDown just to show how it can be done.
If you want to remove the MouseDown layer:
1. Make all three layers viewable and selectable.
2. Marquee select all the buttons.
3. Remove the Soft Group.
4. In the Layer Gallery Delete the MouseDown layer.
5. Marguee select all the buttons
6. Apply a Soft Group.

Actually, Bill, you can simply delete the MouseDown layer. You will be prompted with, "The layer contains some objects. Are you sure you want to delete them?" Just click the Delete layer button.Originally Posted by Soquili

Thanks Curtis. I never tried deleting a layer that contained Soft Grouped objects.

Thanks Curtis, Bill. Those solutions worked. Somehow I missed the Ctrl->Click sequence on the image when using the mouseOver layer - and did not pay enough attention to the Status bar.
Appreciate the help. XWD appears to be a monster tool!
