Okay.  I may be losing my mind.

I tried those themes mentioned in the thread: "New Complete Themes
for
SeaMonkey"

I removed them.

I just noticed that the scroll bars in SeaMonkey are different.
Notice
the vertical scroll bars in these screen shots:

<http://edmullen.net/temp/sm02.jpg>

Umm, have they looked like that before?  Or did temporarily
installing
those themes somehow permanently modify the packaged Modern
theme?  Or
am I just losing it?

Themes do change scrollbars as well as toolbars.


...but they shouldn't persist once you change the Theme to another one.

Now I'm *really* suspicious...



They do if installed as a separate extension when installing the theme.

Nobody noticed they were installing two add-ons?

Looking at the  Metal Lion Silver Sea Monkey theme I see an extension
called Metal Lion Sea Monkey Silver Scrollbars that comes with the
theme. Same for the Sea Monkey Metal Lion theme called Metal Lion Sea
Monkey Scrollbars II.

I like the Silver theme best.

Check your extensions and remove the scrollbar extension.


On the Mac version these are hidden to an extent - they certainly didn't
show up in my Add-on list...and they have/had random character .xpi
names.  I had to fish out the offenders by trial and error to get rid of
them.  So I have zero idea of just what they were, were doing...or what
*else* they might have been doing.

So beware - this is just one more way you can have your machine
compromised!

If you examine the content of the installer .xpi archive, you can see if
there is another file in addition to the theme in there.  I do see that,
since I always change things in themes.  I have yet to find a perfect
theme.


I don't have a .xpi archive with a Mac Profile...at least not one that I can determine. I managed to find the offending files in the Extensions Folder, but even then I had to do some scrounging as they had randomized file names. In fact, *most* of the filespecs in my Extensions Folder are randomized characters.

Anyway, once I had the hint I managed to get rid of what I needed to to return appearances to normal.
