First off, this is a very beautiful theme. Very well done.
But there's a bit of an issue with the drop-downs (File, Edit, View, etc and Right-Clicking as well). The program will act like there is a menu, but the menu does not actually become visible. For example, if I clicked File, the word itself will turn blue, indicating that it's active, but no menu is actually visible. If I move the pointer along the bar, the other words will also change to blue. If I click in the area where the menu ought to be, then does what it would normally do. The only issue is that I can't see it.

I haven't seen anyone else mention this issue yet, so I'm wondering if it could just be me or if no one else has realized it yet.

I use Windows 7 and I just downloaded Thunderbird not too long ago, so it should still be a recent, if not up-to-date, version.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.3.5).

Hi,
Thanks for your review :) I didn t notice any problem when clicking on the menu buttons. They all display the drop-downs. By the way if the theme had such issue, I think that Mozilla's reviewers would already inform me when they checked my work, because it s not some little issue when a dropdown doesn t display correctly. The problem should be somewhere else.
I don t know if you noticed in the addon description but now there is a short text to describing few things to do when facing an issue and, among them, what is very important so I could understand well what is the problem is to provide me a screenshot or a short video. Like this I m sure we are talking about the same thing. But still, I really don t see why you are facing that issue, because I never noticed any problems with the dropdowns and no one else told me about it.

Edit : when you rollover a menu which is active in the main menu bar it s supposed to become blue, but when you pass on an inactive menu I don t know if you noticed but the color is white and after that it closes the dropdown. So I think that what you are trying to describe is when you rollover from an active to an inactive menu then the dropdown disappear. It s a normal behavior, the default theme do that too. Maybe what I could just simply do is to make more difference between an inactive and active menu. But try with the default theme, you ll see that s the same. So it s not an issue, it s simply that inactive menu when not hovered should be a bit darker so we could better notice they are not active. I ll change little bit the inactive menu font color in the 1.3.7 version which will be uploaded soon.
