Then there was the whole of the new default "more Mac-like"

replaced it with the other "Modern" one. And I'm a Mac user...I do have
to say, the folks on Thunderbird did a way better job making a Mac-like
Mac presentation - kudos there.
I guess it's obvious, but you have seriously failed to communicate
what you actually thought was so wrong with the theme changes.

I did in detail, but in another thread...so I saw no need to repeat
that. I think the thread had "SM 2.0 - A Mac User's Observations" in the
title.

But briefly, as I recall everyone had some common complaints with it -
the most common one being it's lack of grippies; and the best solution I
recall for that was to make the entire bar area a grippie for snap
open/close of the sidebar and such. That was a real convenience
deal-breaker for me using a laptop, and probably the single biggest
reason I switched to the other Theme.

Another was that certain areas of the navigation bar are not intuitively
available to right-click - some of the larger areas that seem like they
should respond to a right-click don't respond.

And I think described a number of other issues which gave rise to
particular problems for a laptop user...if you want, I can look back and
re-post here - but I've been saving all of my observations for drafting
formal bug reports.

One of the big reasons I haven't written formal bug reports (yet - I
have been quoted in the too-small buttons report thread) is that I've
become pretty confident that they won't be responded to as a result of
all the single-ended venom I've read over the too-small buttons.


I think the first (sidebar grippies) falls in the theme category. I've been trying to figure out how that can be solved and still retaining a "modern" mac look. If the whole area should respond to open/close clicks it might conflict with the drag behaviour. It might be possible to design something in line with Apple's Mail, though.

The navigation bar right-click issue is a core bug that I think is already filed. I think what happens is that the topmost area is still considered a title bar by the back-end code and thus it doesn't respond to right-clicks.
