horrible white window header background

Post by astrakan »

Hello,

No big deal but I'd like to know if there is a way to avoid this: I'm using TT DeepDark theme for both Thunderbird and Firefox. Perfect with firefox but with thunderbird I have this horrible white background in the window header.
See picture here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/328 ... hunder.jpg

I'm on WIndows 10 and the others windows header are dark grey (explorer, etc). So it's a problem in thunderbird or in the theme but as it works fine with firefox ... ?

Any way to avoid this ?

Thanks and happy new year.

If Firefox had the same problem I'd suggest changing the default Windows 10 theme. You could try to create a CSS snippet to paint that area around the title and toolbar black using a userChrome.css file in the optional chrome directory in the profile. But I'd start by trying version 11 beta 6 of the theme (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunde ... -deepdark/ has a link to it) instead of version 10.0.3 and if that doesn't help, sending a message to the support email address (for the theme). It appears the same theme doesn't work with both Firefox and Thunderbird, the author ported it to make a version for Thunderbird.

Thanks for your help. I do not have this white area with Firefox. About v11b6 of the theme, it's not compatible with the current version of thunderbird (it's for beta and earlybird versions of thunderbird).
About windows 10 theme, the problem is not from it. Here's a pic of notepad++ with a grey bar: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32890756/note.jpg
I will have a look to this userChrome.css ...

Thanks !
