Hello Dear seamonkey support reader,
I've downloaded seamonkey for a while now, using it everyday.
One of the big issue I encounter is the UI itself.
-Top menu buttons are not efficient, not really intuitive
-tabs cannot be closed in a simple way
-seamonkey "modules" like IRC Chat, Email, etc ... are hidden. This
features should appear in a usefull and easy way
The last but not the least :
The interface looks pretty "old".
What do U think about ?
I'm Paul, French, 31 years old.
I work for a Internet acces provider in a network deployment team.
I'm used to draw UI for web using photoshop or InDesign.
I'm not a professional, this is not my main job, but I have many ideas.
I would like to share with you. Drawing something usefull, help
implementing/testing.
My question is : how to ?
It looks old because the design was grandfathered from Netscape
Communicator 4. Mozilla began as a project to replace Netscape[1]. That
became what's known as the Mozilla Application Suite[2]. Firefox and
Thunderbird were created afterwords, and when Mozilla decided to focus
development on those standalone products, they discontinued support for
the Application Suite. SeaMonkey began as a project to maintain the code
for the Application Suite, with a different name. There was a theme
refresh in 2009 (I think), but the layout is the same.

To get involved with SeaMonkey development, I assume it's probably best
to start at <http://www.seamonkey-project.org/dev/>.
