My unbuntu 8.04 on my old(ish) laptop computer has just upgraded the
Seamonkey to version 2.

It has changed the appearance of Seamonkey, to some silly looking theme,
that is listed as the "default theme".

It appears that software developers design software for their own
pleasure, and not for the users.

The "Classic" theme will not install.

The "Littlemonkey" theme has some silly looking phallic symbols to the
left of the toolbars.

Is is possible to get a traditional looking theme for Seamonkey 2.x, so
that we can have a decent appearance for Seamonkey, like the themes from
Seamonkey 1 or Netscape?

Thank you in anticipation.

SM 2.1, for classic theme (SM 1.xxx default) diehards

Seazilla 0.3

June 16, 2011 ,SeaMonkey 2.0b1pre - 2.0.*

I installed Seamonkey 2.1 as an update on top off Seamonkey 2.0.14
Everything went flawlessly, SM 2.1 disabled Classic Default Theme 0.7.

So I installed Add-On Compatibility Reporter 0.8.5
June 6, 2011, SeaMonkey 2.0 - 2.4a1
https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/seamonkey/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/?src=api

I could now enable Classic Default Theme 0.7 and it worked, bur some things were badly broken.

Then I installed Seazilla Classic Theme 0.3, it's a fairly new theme

Seazilla 0.3

June 16, 2011 ,SeaMonkey 2.0b1pre - 2.0.*

A rebuild of the Mozilla1.x/Seamonkey1.x classic theme.
https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/seamonkey/addon/seazilla/?src=api

Seazilla works withh SM 2.1 after some tweaks.

General verdict.

Browser OK
Mail/News/Mail/Mail-Composer OK
Add-On manager OK, looks the same as the SM 2.1 Default Theme
Bookmark manager/organizer, some minor things but usable.
Pssword Mangager OK

But

If you click Window/ Adressbook you get an anomaly.
The Delete/Remove Icon is not supported (verwijderen in Dutch)
It creates a lot of space, you can drag it from the bar, rightclick and
choose customize, drag it down and everthing looks ok.

I Used a localized SM 2.1 NL version (Dutch),Windows 2000 Pro, Seazilla looks grey-ish. I don't know how this theme looks on Windows XP/Vista/Win7

Sreenshots, removed wrong icons

Adressbook wrong delete-icon (verwijderen = delete)
