Just semi-unconsciously downloaded the latest Thunderbird and - what happened?! Apparently dark grey text on a black background for the menu bar and buttons is a "good idea" ![]() SimSig Boss Log in to reply |

Geoff you must have been having too much fun with your themes. Go to: Tools Add-ons Appearance Enable Default 5.0 and you will be back to default. Log in to reply |

Then you have a different thunderbird as I have zerofire, I also have a black background with grey buttons. It is even worse when thunderbird isn't running the selected application, then everything is the same shade of grey. It has been a long time since I've seen such a bad GUI. Geoff, try to find the 'classic reloaded' skin on the themes section of the add-on section. Then you get the old 1.5 theme again which is a lot more usable.

Strange. I ran FF5 from the first of the betas and am now running beta6. I have never had anything but a light grey background and black text.

I run it in Win7, could that be the difference?

I'm on Vista and haven't knowingly fiddled with skins in Thunderbird (in fact, the previous version was quite bland so I'm pretty sure I didn't). I'll give the suggestion a go tonight. Thanks. SimSig Boss Log in to reply |

It turns out "default 5.0" is the only theme I have, so it's enabled anyway. Oddly looks clearer on here than as a "true" window. Post has attachments. Log in to view them. SimSig Boss Last edited: 28/07/2011 at 19:11 by GeoffM Log in to reply |

Hehe, I was just typing a reply about where you can find the downloadable themes. Bit strange though that you have to download a new theme to make a program usable.

Maybe it is a NT6.x thing.
