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:

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.
I went to the Mozillazine artice cited in the OP. There I clicked the
two links:
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/metal-lion-silver-sea-monkey/>
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/metal-lion-sea-monkey/>
Each points to a Mozilla add-ons page where I clicked the "Add to
SeaMonkey" buttons. The only new things that showed up in my Add-ons
Manager were those two themes. When I Removed them in Add-ons Manager
their .xpi folders/files remained behind, causing the issue I first
cited.
Interesting.
There were no Scrollbars extensions shown and zero indication that
something that modifies the Modern theme was going to be installed.
This is what I see when I click "Add to SeaMonkey" for the Metal Lion
Silver theme. Note I can choose to Cancel or Install Now.

Sorry if you didn't see that there is a Scrollbars extension for each
theme.
You were installing a complete theme, not a lightweight theme, and you
expected it to not change your Modern theme?
smdh
I expected to only install what the mozilla.addons told me I was
installing. And, as far as I can tell, that is only what was installed.
The author of this extension/theme needs to fix his mess.
And, while, the addons.mozilla pages state a caution that mozilla has
not reviewd the extension, Mozilla needs to adjust its policies. This
is totally unaccepable that something hosted on Mozilla breaks a basic
Mozilla sw build. The extension should NOT be hosted at an official
Mozilla site.
