All SeaMonkey windows can't resize properly. (Mac)

Post by gavaphro2 »

Hi
Each of the windows I use, Mail & Newsgroups, browser, download manager, have a muddled screen name, cannot be resized without the graphics redrawing going starnge.
Using MAC OS x 10.14, on Macbook Pro, with all screens, connected or macbook display, updated SeaMonkey to the latest version, restarted, resetting pram, switched users, and the usual kind of checks.
It does not happen to any other applications.
Any ideas ?

Thanks

Images are How my window looks before then after attempts to resize the window.

You see to use a lightweight theme, Switch to te default theme and try again.

These themes had problems before and we should probably fully discontinue and replace them with web ext themes later. There are also no longer available for download on the add-ons site. Unlike full themes thexy just overlay some graphics.

lightweight theme
Never even realized that SeaMonkey supported lightweight themes.
and replace them with web ext themes
You mean that in the sense that they would replace lightweight themes (while in the same time, not impacting full themes)?

Yes broke frequently after 52. I fixed up a few issues now and then but in reality not really worth it. Basically a few color cahnges and some grahipcs replacements. Calling it theme is... Same for current webext themes. They are a joke as you can see if you use them.

Yes. But might be better to just rip out support for lightweight themes and don't even try to put the equal bad replacement in.

Hi All. Thanks for the replies.
Neither restarting without add-ons or changing or removing the theme makes a difference.
Any other ideas ?
It started all of a sudden.
Could it be anything to do with memory used ? Some kind of preference within the Mac system folder ?
