I agree with DWHS. I've been looking for a Thunderbird theme with more modern characteristics. The Apple Mail rip-offs are a dime a dozen. Drop the bubble buttons and just leave us with more up-to-date monochrome icons. Much like what is in the Mac OS X menu bar, iPod / iPhone status bar, Windows 7 system tray icons, etc.

I'm using the Silvermel theme right now and it's getting boring, although it's done very well. I gave it three stars not because it's bad, but because it's dated. A refresh would make this the best theme for Thunderbird.

So far this is my favorite. My only complaint is the buttons, they are old school and do not light up when you hover them. I would like to see 2.0 style buttons that are images with no space around them. Rather then shapes with icons and borders. Thanks!

I like this, except the LOVE icon for adding contact. Its looks silly.

Could you just change it to (+) icon instead.

4 stars! I give you 5 stars if you change the love icon :-p

HUTA2U: Do you have Lightning installed? That's your calendar.

On another topic, if you run TEBE this theme is likely to cause problems. The GUID is not a properly-formed email address and will trip up TEBE's validation. A work round is to edit the iLeopard install.rdf to change the to "iLeopardMail@reo-2007.deviantart.com". And for good measure add 4 to indicate it's a theme. Then install it. TEBE is quite happy after that.

I CAN NOT LOCATE THE CALENDAR?
WHER IS THE "CALENDAR TAB" LOCATED?

A very nice theme but two small problems.

Black on dark grey does not make for the best visibility on the tabs and tab bar.

And the divider between the message pane and message list is a real pig to grab and adjust. It's virtually impossible below the header, and needs a steady hand at header height.

Very nice theme - works great with TB3.
Minor cosmetic issue can be seen in the Calendar tab; the available calendars are aligned much too far to the left (maybe that only happens when a connection to a calendar failed).

So far I really like it. I was looking for a theme that more closely matched the rest of my Apple software and I think you hit the nail on the head with this one. Thanx!
