An introduction to Thunderbird, part 9
Thunderbird and themes
From one time to another you can grow tired of looking at the same theme all the time, by "theme" I mean the the look of the user interface. If you do grow tired of the theme, there is something you can do about it, throughout this article I will try to show you how you can swap the looks on the Mozilla Thunderbird interface.
Start up the Thunderbird client, head to Tools > Options... > Themes, if you navigated correctly, you should be looking at this window:
In the bottom left corner of the window you got a hyperlink which says "Download new themes", press it. Thunderbird will now open the link using your default browser, and you are directed to the Themes download page. Download the theme you want to try, remember it's really not a hassle to remove it if you don't want it. When you have downloaded the new theme, go back to Thunderbird, Tools > Options... > Themes. In the bottom right corner of the window you have a button named "Install New Theme", press it. Locate your downloaded file and press "OK".
Select you new theme and press "OK", you should get this window:
Press "OK". You will now have to close Thunderbird and start it again, if you have done the process correctly your Thunderbird should now have a completley new look, check out the one I tested:
There you go, almost like a whole new application. :) As you download new themes you can chose a new one whenever you feel like it. All you have to do is go Tools > Options... > Themes and choose one of the other themes. Bon apetite! :)
