I've never used SeaMonkey, so I don't know. Searching on line, I find that SeaMonkey can use the userChrome.css (and userContent.css) file(s), but I don't know if element identifiers would be the same. Your best bet would be to ask in the mozilla.support.seamonkey newsgroup. To give you a headstart on that I'm cross-posting this and setting the follow-up to mozilla.support.seamonkey.
