Thunderbird Themes

Hi, I downloaded from Thunderbird Themes "Silver Screen" to a folder on my harddrive, i open Thunderbird/tools/theme manager/ i clic install, i browsed to my saved folder's theme i don't see anything showing up, because my theme is a" jar file" so i open all files my theme file is showing up, i clic open the theme manager says it will install the theme clic ok, and nothing happen you'll see only a screen open very fast and close very fast no theme installed, so i like to know how to install silver screen for Thunderbird, Firefox have already silver screen installed

 

There a couple of ways. The one which I like to use with downloaded files, either .jar or .xpi requires that you open the Extention or Theme manager (Option|Extentions). Then, minimize the program, so that only the extention (theme) manager shows and I drag and drop the file into the manager. Then, I get the usual request to allow installs, say ok. Close the program, and restarted.
I am not promising that it will work, but if you can install, in first place, you should get some message. It may not be compatible. You must select Use Theme in the Theme Manager. But, I know nothing about that theme.

 

Gaston,

I was able to download and install the Silver Theme, but found that the file needs to be downloaded from the author's site:
http://www.maurobartoccelli.com/silverskin/thunderbird.htm

Drag the Theme to the Theme window, and click: Install
Highlight the Theme and click: Use Theme

Next:
Exit Thunderbird

When you reopen Thunderbird the Theme should be in use.

Thanks Ramona, i downloaded the theme from the author's site and is working fine.

 

Oh good Gaston, I'm glad to hear that the install was successful!
