Title:
  Thunderbird Icon set is broken (ugly, black and white icons)

Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Since Oneiric the standard theme in thunderbird is broken. In Oneiric (and 
Precise) some of the coloured Icons were replaced by black&white pictograms, 
but not consistently all. For example the Lightning Icons still remain 
coloured, as they were before.
  I don't know why some Icons were replaced by pictograms (is this because of a 
new GTK-Theme?) , this is only in the Linux version of TB, the Windows version 
still has the coloured icons. It would have been better if the old standard 
theme remains untouched, and a new theme would have been created for the new 
black&white pictograms.

  See attached screenshot for the weird icons.

  Possible work-around: Download Thunderbird from mozilla, extract a
  file called omni.ja and overwrite the copy at /usr/lib/thunderbird/.
  Not sure if this has undesired effects (it may delete all your email,
  so be careful!), but it works for me.
