I don't use any themes, but using Seamonkey V2.2 under Windows XP
I certainly have the ability to conceal or disclose a pane by
clicking on the central (dotted, between two triangles) region
of a divider.
However ... I /thought/ I used to be able to lay out the three
panes (I am speaking Mail/News here) in at least two different
geometries, but trying to achieve that recently on my wife's
modern 16:9 geometry screen, I could no longer find that geometry
setting. Does it still exist, and if so, could someone please
remind me where to locate it ?

On a Mac we have two mutually incompatible needs. On one hand we want to
look like a native Mac application which means conforming to the Apple
HIG. Unfortunately splitter grippies don't exist in the native Mac
widget set. On the other hand we also want SeaMonkey to behave like the
traditional Mozilla Suite. So the challenge is to come up with some UI
for the splitter grippy (that does the collapse/expand toggle) that
doesn't look too un-Mac-ish. So it's actually there but you may not
realize that that's the grippy where you need to click on.

No it doesn't. you can click on the little dot in the center till the
cows come home and nothing happens and there there is no dot at all on
the left side for the side pane.
when there was a functioning grippy you click on it and it would pop all
the way down to bottom. click on it and it would pop back up to previous
position. I I need to move it all the way down to the bottom I have to
drag it the drag it Back up. Same action in FireFox, and Thunderbird as
well.
Why do you have to go by Apple Guidelines anyway for a web Browser/
email Client.?
I prefer Mac over PC. But there is a few things Apple do I think is dumb.
