Try going to View when you have a web page up and at the bottom select apply theme and choose the one not checked and click on it. It will say it will apply when you restart SM -do that and see if it makes any difference, if not you can change back redoing it with the other. Little Seamonkey,Walnut,Pinball,Sky Pilot are just a few of the themes you may use and switch back and forth as some people like some better than others as far as looks or buttons. Also you might try reinstalling SM 2. Hope you get it fixed.
