If I could customize the color of the window trim on the SM

it would be dead-solid perfection!
While having the silver-grey OS X window interface bar hanging

blueish SM Toolbar presentation isn't really annoying, it would
be a
nice touch to be able to match their color...or even select any
other of
my own choosing. Just a thought...that's certainly one of the
things
that makes Thunderbird look so nice behind Safari.
A bit of userChrome.css should be able to fix that.
Phil
Good point...I'll look into that. Anyplace I can find detailed
info on
the bones of the SM Modern Theme itself?
Well there is:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/suite/themes/modern/
But I'd suggest that you find the modern theme that comes with
SeaMonkey
which should be located at:
seamonkey/extensions/[email protected]
Where seamonkey is where you installed SeaMonkey.......
Is that on Windows? It makes no sense on Mac.
GW
Yes - SM is interpreting the *.xpi as an e-mail address here...and
it's
not a Mac sort of path-spec.
...ok...from what I think I can noodle out (I'm *not* a coder) on a
Mac
you have to fool around with this from within the SM Package - if you
cntrl+click on the SM app and select "Show Package Contents" and
look in
Extensions you can find a file that looks like
"[email protected]". That's the only way I could find
anything like.
My thought would be that a user would have to make a copy of this
file,
manipulate it (somehow...), and then either reinstall it into the
Package or install it as a Theme of it's own. Somehow...
....
ahhhh, yes "Show Pack.." . From there I see
Contents/Mac OS/Extensions/modern@....
and inside that folder is a Chrome folder which has modern.jar which
may
indeed be the prize, but I can't open that to see if there is CSS to
tweak inside.
GW
Interesting...in my SM 2.13.2 install Package there isn't a Chrome
folder anywhere within the Package itself, only in the user Profile
folders in my ~user/Library/Application Support/Seamonkey folders.
I'll take a look at my SM 2.23 install sometime, but I'd expect to see
the same. All of my installs have always been obtained directly from
the SM site.
sorry, Ruf, that was on my 2.0 machine. 2.1+ is like Trane says in the
other response....and it's an XPI like CHEE said
GW
(who is usually on his beloved PPC)
Ok...at least it's all consistent...I know stuff has been changed around
substantially!
but the original question if how this file relates to userChrome.css is
still out there - which is what, and what or which has to get hacked?
I took his response to mean, if we unpack the XPI, and study it for many
hours, we will understand all the parts and colors definitions of the
Modern Theme, and we could then change a color by putting a different
definition in userchrome.css.
Yes, that was my initial thought and that it would be simpler to just
change the color constant in the .xpi and leave it there...but how does
one unpack the .xpi?
It's just a zip archive. Stuffit Expander unpacks it in the proper
folder structure by default.
I'm fine with gray, but might try to unpack and read the XPI anyway, to
learn some more about how all this works. It might be easy to find,
since it's likely the ONLY color listed in the Modern theme's XPI.
GW
Yes...I'd make a copy out of the Package and fool around with that. If
it were a straight grey or silver-grey like my Mac OS window frames then
I wouldn't even be thinking about it...it's more of a blue-grey, and
that sort of separates the SM frame from the uniformity of the OS
standard. What I'd do is simply match the colors and probably never
change it again.
Not really an annoyance for me, just more of a curiosity.
Another option for you /might/ be to replace the Default theme's
graphics with those from the Modern theme. That might net you nice
colours plus the buttons you prefer. I don't know whether it would be
all that simple, though it's possibly worth the few minutes to give it a
whirl.
