Been using this theme ever since I use Thunderbird. Love it.

While a update that supports TB6 natively doesn't come out, you can do this:

1. With TB closed, go to C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\[PROFILE NAME]\extensions\LeopardMailDefaultAqua@reo-2007

2. Open up 'install.rdf' using Notepad.

3. Locate the following section:
"<em:targetApplication>
<Description>
<em:id>{3550f703-e582-4d05-9a08-453d09bdfdc6}</em:id>
<em:minVersion>3.0b4pre</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>3.2a1pre</em:maxVersion>
</Description>
</em:targetApplication>"

4. In the string "<em:maxVersion>3.2a1pre</em:maxVersion>" change the value to 6.0

5. Save and Close.

You can now use the theme with the version 6 of Thunderbird. It looks slightly different than before, but a whole lote better than the deafult theme. You can do the same for the Graphite version of this theme.
There might be some bugs, as the theme was not designed to wirk with this new version of TB. Do this at your own risk.

I'll be waiting for an update on this theme, 'cause I love it. Until then I'll be using this little trick :)

Congrats and thanks to the artist for the great work on the theme :)
