Nachdem ich mich endlich dazu durchgerungen habe, den derzeit aktuellen TB9 zu installieren, war ich entsetzt über den 'Spielkram' der mir da grafisch ins Auge sprang.

Mit dem 'Classic Reloaded' Theme habe ich wieder, was ich nach dem ersten Schrecken beim TB9 schmerzlich vermisst habe: Kein gläsernes Design, das mich verzweifelt die richtigen Knöpfe suchen lässt. Keine übertrieben bunten Knöpfe, die mir Augenkrebs verursachen.
Stattdessen habe ich jetzt (wieder) einen aufgeräumten Donnervogel, der nahezu schnörkellos daher kommt und nur das mitbringt, was auch wirklich gebraucht wird.

Da ist der klitzekleine Schönheitsfehler mit dem Schließen Kreuz von Lightning absolut verzeihbar.
Zumal ich den wahrscheinlich gar nicht bemerkt hätte, wenn es den Hinweis in der Beschreibung dazu nicht gegeben hätte. :-)

Danke für das Theme!
Und bitte, auch für spätere Versionen am Ball bleiben, ich möcht's wirklich nicht missen. ;-)

To remove the message header toolbar entirely, put the following line in userChrome.css:

#header-view-toolbox { display: none; }

Edited to add: to have the message header buttons display normally(to the right for LTR languages) use the following:

#expandedHeadersTopBox { display: block; }

Apparently this is overwritten in the extension, and it is what allows the From and buttons to be moved with CSS.

Very neat. The only thing I didn't like was the messages didn't have alternate shading. So, I add the following in my Userchrome.css

treechildren::-moz-tree-row() {
min-height: 22px !important;
background-color: #ffffff;
}

treechildren::-moz-tree-row(odd) {
background-color: #f1f3f8;
}

/* -- override the mailbox folders list -- */
#folderTree > treechildren::-moz-tree-row() {
background-color: #e5eaf4;
}

Now its perfect! :D

Thunderbird's default appearance has been hideous ever since they started to update the program every two weeks. I had been using MostlyCrystal's theme, but since they discontinued that, I stumbled on this. Perfect. Hope the dev is able to keep up with all of Mozilla's updates!

In Thunderbird 8, with all the message header buttons removed &amp; this theme installed, the "from" part of message header has shunted out of alignment &amp; gone further to right.

This happens with a clean profile, without this theme installed the alignment is restored to normal.

See http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/851/tb8header.jpg/
for image as effected.

Apart from that, nice to see the colored icons back in Thunderbird where they belong. This is the same effect as the Classic TB2 theme which also miss aligns the from part.

Also is there a version with the star rather than the flag. Currently have version 1.5.2 of this theme installed. Is there a css entry that can restore this? if no version available.
