You mean the padding was too large, right? ;)

This build looks great. Since the padding issue has been resolved, the default toolbar set should be changed so that it doesn't use three separators every time. It should only be one separator per "button separation", if you know what I mean.

I also think that the default toolbar should use small buttons, as Firebird does. The large buttons (with text) are a bit too large in my opinion.

Great work!!

I dunno whats wrong then, cause both appear the same on my machine. To prove it, here's a screen shot. Actually the 923 build is a little better on padding in my opinion. Personally I liked the way the padding was before hand, and I know I'm not the only one. Can there be an option or something on the padding (even if its just a thing where its either the old way or the new) so everyone can be happy?

I think it's perfect now

You can always change your crome*.js file if you want special padding?

I'm thinking of going back to 0.1 or 0.2 just to have this fixed, totally ruins the program


Try clicking on another folder and waiting for that to display then clicking back on the inbox, that seems to fix this problem for me.

Junk Mail Sanatizing

Post by yendor »

Is junk mail sanatizing meant to prevent any remote images from being displayed ? I always thought this was the case but just noticed that it isn't doing it in rc2 so I am not sure if it is a regression or not.

It won't even start on my system (Debian Woddy 2.4.17):
"./thunderbird-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

The newerst versions of MozillaSuite and FB run just fine though. Why does TB need a library neither FB nor MozillaSuite needs?

Why don't you just insert a space after each toolbar item?

Thunderbird translations!

In the past, we were able to edit the textfiles included in the chrome-directory. We replaced all en-US / US / en Strings with the corresponding language Strings (e.g. de-DE / nl-NL).
Since Thunderbird 0.3 RC this is no more possible.

From now on we've to Install our language-packs with the xpi-Installation and start Thunderbird once with "-contentLocale de-DE -UILocale DE". This way is smart but not perfect!

There are some strings in Thunderbird (many Buttons), which will be not shown with the translated string (but the strings are translated). Thunderbird uses some strings out of the englich chrome-files.

What can we do?

I second this!!

it is good that het xpi installation now works :-)
but that the buttons like back, save, don't save, etc don't take the translation is a bit annoying ](*,)

OS issue...

Post by no_tellin »

I use Thunderbird on other platforms (Linux, Win) and *really* want to use it on OS X, but it still seems to have a problem (I'm sure this has been brought up before): If you start the program and close the main window, there's no way to get it back without quitting and restarting. As soon as the main window is closed, the menu changes to a non-functional, looks-like-mozilla menu, eg the "Tools" menu item changes to "Bookmarks" ...

Will this get fixed before release? Yeah, I know, quit whining and fix it yourself. Believe me, if I had the time and skill to do it, I would...
