Themes or decoration of the Linux used

Post by oui »

Hello

I am using seamonkey since the old mozilla suite did be replaced by seamonkey (and the suite with the red monster years before that) as it is easy to port it from Linux to Linux :-"

Same thing as distrowatch did announce in the last days "Netrunner rolling", a really wonderful release from that little distro based, this time, on Manjaro and Arch (the precedent one was based on Debian).

The distro team / maker did pre install a special version of Firefox with divers goodies.

But I would better continue to use Seamonkey!

I am only sorry on a detail: The "slider" on the right bord of a lot of pages of Seamonkey, for example right of the text "Welcome to SeaMonkey Help" at the welcome page of the help is extremely thin and about impossible to be seen on the HD screen of my laptop because of the themes or decoration (dark black / grey theme and decoration). I did try to change both with the success that I did have after that better to reinstall all and did really that...

In that completely new installation, I will of course avoid to repeat that mistake!

I remember that Seamonkey has 2 themes! Where is the second theme in the new version? If definitively erased, how to solve that problem without to make a complete chaos again in the (for all excepted Seamonkey and Rox filer good) settings of that interesting distro?

Greetings

Are you using SeaMonkey from your distro or from Mozilla?
2.30 is really old.
https://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/

Mozilla version should have two themes; Default & Modern.

Fire 750, bring back 250.

Which distro are you using.
I'm making the switch form Windows 7 to Mint 19.1.
The windows in Mint had this problem.
Check the forums for your distro on slider (vertical scrollbar) width

That is a general theme issue, affecting Modern & many (not all) third-party themes - when you change the zoom level.


edit: fixed typo

Actually it was "default theme" and thick slider didn't changed when I zoomed in/out. But Modern theme is affected. Fortunately default zoom level gives normal slider:
