It's now called the "Default Theme" but it with new icons for the buttons. If you want the classic "Classic" then you'll have to look for a third party theme that does this retro look.

Re: Dead Tired of TBird :-(
Roger Fink wrote: John Doue wrote: Roger Fink wrote: RF wrote: Hiya SeaMonkies :-) I have used TBird for many years and in that time for numerous reasons I had to transfer the user data to the new installation and it was the ultimate pain. Now I am looking for something that is far less bloated, and still secure and simple. Simple enough to be able to transfer all the user data to a new installation of the program in less than about an hour. I'm told it is a combination of a browser and email reader. One thing I absolutely require is emails in my computer - not on the ISPs websites with all of their crap ads. TIA If you are the kind of user who gets into irreversible trouble with a dedicated email application (and you've answered that question in your posts on the Tbird board), IMO you really don't want to install a single program that functions as three different applications, because getting into trouble with a multi-purpose application means uninstalling everything, at least in the absence of being able to fix it. Although I am a big fan of Seamonkey in its present versions, I second Roger's answer to you. Being able to fix minor problems - and you will get lots of help here - is critical. Believe me, transferring TB from one machine to the other is very simple, provided you take the time to gather information and carefully use it. Transferring Seamonkey data to another machine requires basically the same steps, so if you think Seamonkey will solve the problems you encountered, think again. The strong point of SM is combining a browser and an email program into one, as Netscape and Mozilla Suite did. Some prefer this approach, some don't. The latest version of SM (1.1.16) is for me ideal: it combines the ease of use of TB and the (relative) simplicity of FF2 which I prefer by fare to FF3's. You can actually replicate the integrated feel of the SeaMonkey suite to a significant degree merely by installing minimize-to-tray for the two applications TB & FF, and a common theme such as Mostly Crystal. So if you get into trouble with either one, well then what happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas. I actually go to the extreme of using a separate newsreader program to REALLY keep my mistakes compartmentalized, but I believe under the rules of posting here, I'm not allowed to mention what it is. How does one install "minimize-to-tray"? Sorry if this is a stupid question. I did install Mostly Crystal and like it very much!

Re: SeaMonkey 2 and Thunderbird 3
David Wilkinson wrote: So my question is: Is the release of SM2 being delayed until Thunderbird 3 is finished? Yes, it is, we cannot release a stable SeaMonkey release without a stable mail/news backend, which we only will have once Thunderbird 3 goes into at least RC phase. That said, we'll have a first beta of SM2 in the next few weeks, a second beta a few weeks later and then a final another few weeks later. We should be on the way now and pick up a good drive towards final. It's a bit unfortunate that the duration between Alpha 3 and Beta 1 grew significantly longer than expected, but things should be moving more smoothly from now on. Unfortunately I can't talk in real schedules right now, as there's one large feature for the mail backend (indexing all data to allow for fast and easy search across all messages and addresses) is being worked on still, and that feature is what's pushing out Thunderbird and SeaMonkey beta release dates right now.
