Searching for userChrome.css as I type.
Well!! I'm not seeing any green anywhere, so I must have screwed it

Time to try a different/lower level in the directory chain.

Try searching for userChrome-example.css.  That file should always be
created when installing SeaMonkey.  If you find it but not
userChrome.css, just copy userChrome-example.css into the same
directory
and rename it as userChrome.css.

Those example files are not present in the recent versions of
SeaMonkey.  They were not present when I started using SeaMonkey at
version 2.20.

To expand on Hartmut's answer yesterday, they are no longer in the
profile folder, but kept in the application-folder's omni.ja java
archive folder (For Linux, that's at /seamonkey/omni.ja
(/defaults/profile/chrome/userChrome-example.css and /seamonkey/omni.ja
(/defaults/profile/chrome/userContent-example.css). HTH

How, then, is someone supposed to extract userChrome.css and
userContent.css (or userChrome-example.css and userContent-example.css
to use as templates to create the others) from omni.ja and place them
into the chrome directory of a profile?

Sorry about that. I use an archive application to copy out of the Java
archive folder.
Copying the attached style sheets into the user's profile chrome
directory, and editing in your text editor is the way to go. HTH.

As I noted, above, Barry, I've moved an old version of userChrome.css
into the appropriate location and had no effect, so I don't think your
files will help, but thanks for trying.


Daniel, the "example" files won't do a thing:  They are just examples
with no active code in them.

In CSS files lines are made comments by preceding them with "/*" (no
quotes) and ending them with "*/"

If you look at the files' content you'll that EVERYTHING is commented out.


Until they were hidden in omni.ja, the "example" files were intended for
use as templates to create the actual userChrome.css and
userContent.css.  A number of times, users were advised in this same
newsgroup to copy the "example" files, paste them back into the chrome
directory, rename them to eliminate the "example", and then edit the new
files for some purpose.

Yeap, that *is* what I did many moons ago, so, in my Netscape Suite and Mozilla Suite and SeaMonkey Suite Ver 1.x.x profiles I did have userChrome.css and userContent.css files, complete with various additions, but when I installed SM Ver 2.0 (or, maybe, 2.1 (after the *profile conversion* )) there seems to have been no .css files!!
