I very much enjoy the Firefox theme RedShift from C.Nicks and thought your theme looked like a very good companion for Thunderbird. I like the particular shade and hue of red you have selected for this theme.

I agree with another reviewer, Harmless (and I'm assuming I'm understanding them correctly), that the alternating background for the e-mail pane makes the words a bit difficult to read. I think it's the shift to gray to indicate a highlight that makes the top of the letters more difficult to discern as they are too close in color. Perhaps if the font size was a bit larger and a darker color highlight would help?

I have noticed one other issue/problem: When I open some windows within Thunderbird (e.g. the Options window in Tools) the window is not wide enough to show everything and there is no way for me to expand the size of the window (to the right would be needed). I don't know if this is an issue with Windows Vista, but that is the OS I'm using on this new laptop.

Otherwise I think it looks really sharp and I'm happy to have it loaded and running.
