Are you clicking the "I'm Done" button on the Yahoo page after you have selected a theme? Reloading defaults back to the theme I had originally set, if I don't click the "I'm Done" button. If I click the button, the changed theme appears in SeaMonkey, all my Firefox versions, Chrome, and Opera. -- WaltS using Fedora 17 (64-bit) KDE 4.8.5 Thunderbird Beta Free Pussy Riot! _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
