My unbuntu 8.04 on my old(ish) laptop computer has just upgraded the
Seamonkey to version 2.

It has changed the appearance of Seamonkey, to some silly looking
theme, that is listed as the "default theme".

It appears that software developers design software for their own
pleasure, and not for the users.

The "Classic" theme will not install.

The "Littlemonkey" theme has some silly looking phallic symbols to
the left of the toolbars.

Is is possible to get a traditional looking theme for Seamonkey 2.x,
so that we can have a decent appearance for Seamonkey, like the
themes from Seamonkey 1 or Netscape?

I've just ported the SM1.x Modern Mozillium theme to SM2.2+. It is
available on my server, https://www.projectit.com/ .

Additionally, I still plan to port the other SeaMonkey themes like
(Race Day and Venerable Modern) as time permits.

I've just ported the SM1.x Venerable Modern theme to SM2.2+. It is
available on my server, https://www.projectit.com/ when visiting the
site using SeaMonkey 2.2x.

Venerable Modern was one of the original themes for the Mozilla Suite
making its debut at version M18. In many ways, it is one of the most
beautiful themes with its darker violet hues and toolbar buttons. As an
added bonus, incorporated in this theme is a derivative skin named,
Venerable Chrome Modern authored by storm119. The best way of explaining
it is that it is a hybrid of Modern Mozillium and Venerable Modern. To
enable it, click the Subskin link for instructions.

Additionally, I still plan to port the other SeaMonkey themes like (Race
Day and, hopefully, Toy Factory and Sky Pilot Classic) as time permits.

Lastly, I've also updated the Modern Mozillium theme and fixed a number
styling errors or previously unstyled elements.

more subtlety in my aging years...

I think Sky Pilot to be the best Theme ever designed for Mozilla Products. I would be using it now, if it was compatible. I like the ability to click in the dividers and open and close completely. instead of having to pull them down. I use three pane mode, and and there are times when I want to pull the window down to mark groups of items as read or as spam without reading them.


The was a big flap several years ago, about this they wanted to remove two three lines of code to save space, and the current themes have this ability killed as a result. you have to grab the divider pull all the way down then when complete pull back up. a Big time waster.

SkyPilot had this feature where you click on the divider and it would open all the way down (hiding the reading window) click on it again ad it opens back to original setting.

I want it available for SeaMonkey and FireFox.

Phillip, I've enabled splitters collapse/expand on all of my themes.
