Keep in mind that Seamonkey 2 uses the new toolkit from Firefox, not the
old XPFE toolkit from Mozilla Application Suite. So adapting an old
Mozilla theme to Seamonkey 2 is a lot more work than it was, say, to
make a Mozilla 1.0 theme work in 1.7.

So, your old custom themes will stop working. No easy fix for that.

What you *can* do is to download a new theme compatible with your
version of Seamonkey.

KaiRo has recently posted his own custom themes for Seamonkey 2.1. These
include the EarlyBlue theme, which is styled like old betas of the
Mozilla Application Suite. I think that there are 2.0-compatible
versions around, too, but I'm not sure where to get them.

Johannes Schellen has Seamonkey 2.0-compatible versions of his Pinball
and GrayModern themes at his site, but so far no 2.1-compatible versions.

You may find a few others here:

Most of them are for SM 2.0, but there are at least three (KaiRo's two
and one mimicking an old Firefox theme) for 2.1
