336645 2005-03-22 04:12:00 Hey,

I've been trying to download themes for Thunderbird, from the mozilla website . However, on completion of download, a popup window says that this theme could not be installed because it is not compatible with firefox .

In Thunderbird's list of themes the new themes haven't been put there .

What am I doing wrong?

thanks,
caffy

Make sure you are downloading themes that match your version of Thunderbird

Another thing, when you are downloading the themes, are you right clickin the download link and 'saving as..'?

Also, the some of the themes have dead links (I think Silver is one)

Thanks, problem solved :)

336649 2005-03-22 04:44:00 Since you are probably downloading the themes using firefox, firefox assumes that it is a theme for firefox.

What I do is download the file to the computer, open the 'themes' dialog box from thunderbird and drag the downloaded theme into the dialog box. This way, I tell Thunderbird that this theme is for you.

Cheers,
