Very sexy. Just the contrast of the tabs on top are kind of ugly, the active tab looks nice, the inactive tabs are black text on dark gray background. Should look much more beautiful with white/light grey text?

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (6.1).

Is there similar for Firefox?

Without a doubt, these are the best skin series for Thunderbird and Betterbird. They maintain their integrity even when the mail client is maximized on a 16:9 (widescreen) monitor, where most skins break on the left of the top bar. Additionally, the color contrast is just right, Amazing. True that a grey logo will play better in the title bar

Edit: True to my word I do check in from time to time, and I see that 5.0 is missing the smudge! BACK TO 5* and to being my favorite theme!

Edit: Tried 4.9 and it is just not my thing. It looks like a dirty spot on my monitor screen. I have always supported your work, and even though I have moved on to a new theme, I will check back from time to time to see if you have come to your senses. Ha ha.

Sorry man, but version 4.8 is ruined by the strange logo in the title bar. It breaks up the flow, and well it is ugly, it draws your eyes to itself, and it is just plain out of place and weird. I switched back to 4.6.

Maybe you're right, the logo was too "unacceptable". I decided to remove it in the latest version (5.0), believing that my themes would be more liked without it :)

The use of shades of grey with blue and orange elements creates a visually appealing contrast, making it easy on the eyes while maintaining a professional aesthetic. The dark theme enhances readability, especially in low-light environments, which is a plus for users who spend extended periods working in Thunderbird.

Very nice theme! Only one issue: for some reason, the folder colors, in the properties, is black instead of the blue the folder actually is. The issue is that "repairing" a folder makes it actually becoming black. To restore it one needs to change theme and re-apply Dark Night Arcturus X

Thank you for your opinion and information about the problem. It turns out to be a Thunderbird bug (not the theme), which occurs if the theme defines custom colors of folders and it has already been reported to Bugzilla.

Excellent, the only thing i wish the dev would add are :

- possibility to have the very nice button font white or other colors cause black is not very readable when not selected.

By the way thank you dev for your great work

Update: Dev fixed the calendar event color issue (thanks man!), and so back to 5 stars because it really is the best theme I have ever seen.

Five stars all the way ... except for the latest update. While gorgeous, the latest update (and as others have said) screwed up the colors of the Calendar categories and now they are hard to tell apart. Please fix this. It is a real hit to the Calendar "at a glance" functionality. Thank you.

Hello. fixed. Please, download new version of Dark Night Arcturus X (4.1) from my private Add-on home page (https://www.yonak.pl/tbthemes/) or wait a few days for approval it by Mozilla and then update the theme directly in Thunderbird, @nyquisteroux

Thanks for the Calendar colour fix. So 5 stars now.
This is a very nice, uncluttered dark theme.

I have been using Monterail theme for some years. Now it is no longer compatible with a newer version of Thunderbird. I tested several alternatives and found this theme quite similar to Montrail.
