The glassy black effect is very nice, especially with my Zune theme but I have to agree that the pink should be replaced. I'd love it to be orange to really match Zune but even blue or green would be better than pink. Any way to customize the color? Also I'd prefer the folder and new mail backgrounds to be a bit more grayish - the contrast between the black toolbars and the stark white background takes some getting used to. Still, a very nice theme!

Very nice theme, I even like the pink. My biggest problem with it is the faux glass effects. They end up washing out some text, and make portions hard to read. I would prefer a more solid black with subtle highlights as is used in the Firefox theme Redshift V2. Very well done. I look forward to future updates :^)

I don't think it goes against the spirit of Thunderbird. It's nice to have a skin for visual OS integration. Yet, I agree with the pinks: they need go in favor of blue or green! Also, the info columns in the Inbox are kinda hard to read. They'd look better with a lighter shade. And the search box should be square, not round like a Mac OS.
Those are minor complaints, as I really like the Skin. Keep up the good work!

I love the glassy effect and the icons are cool, however I hate the PINK!!!! Please change it to a glassy Green. Green means Go, whereas Pink means time to throw up ;)

One of the ideas open source software is to distance ourselves from the commercial exploiters and encouraging the internet community to seek more realistic avenues. Advertising for the exploiters, in any form, is not encouraged. I realize a lot of T-Bird users are still on Windows but giving T-Bird a pseudo- Windows look and feel is degrading to the fine workmanship that has gone into the T-Bird project.\r\n\r\nI\'ve never seen Windows Vista but if your theme is anywhere near it\'s overall theme, Vista is an albatross. The theme is gawky eyewash, not visually appealing and is difficult to view.\r\n\r\nHas M$ given you right to utilize an icon in your package \"resembling\" a logo/icon copyrighted by them? Graphics designed with a likeness of copyrighted graphics is the same as simply reproducing the copyrighted graphic and makes you just as legally libel. I am surprised Mozilla has allowed you to post this package. They have liability too.\r\n\r\nPlease consider withdrawing this theme offering.

You must have a hitler mentality. How could you chnage the dratted thing so much and not give the users a choice. V1.0 was great, this one sucks. I have gone back to 1.0

I do like the theme 1.5 use it all the time, but v2.0 I think you need to redo it or fix up the theme as it\'s hard to see some things, keep up the great work.

Interface très réussie mais le carnet d'adresse est mal pris en compte puisque l'affichage de chaque fiche individuelle n'est plus correctement assuré.
À revoir, donc...

Menu bar - a little too dark for me, but OK. Folder list and messages provide excellent color contrast, there's no color or shading confusion for my older eyes. Overall, an excellent job.

Bravo!
I find your theme super!
How much would we have to wait to get this theme also for Firefox? :-))
Once again: bravo!

I really like the attempt... But the name is incorrect; it should be "Wannabe Vista Mail". I actually own Vista and a lot of it is minimalism, not flashy red & black colors, come on! Just look at IE 7, last time I checked, it was a soothing color blue. Black is great but when overdone it's a killer on the eyes. Also, you should change/edit some of the icons because some look like crud. Smooth out the colors, make black & grey, or gold or whatever. I'd like to have this theme as the default but in every window I find, there is some kind of messed-up detail that ruins everything (e.g. the icon you used for "attachments"). Nice try, but that's far from perfection (or at least a "7" rating from me).

I generally like that theme, though I prefer the colours used in the 1.0 Version, perhaps you could split the two, a different palette is more than just another version IMHO. More serious is that in version 2 the menues aren't displayed until I hover the mouse over. I had to turn off automatic updates both because of this bug and because I want to use the version 1 color scheme anyway.

Great theme! Very stylish, flashy, and pleasant overall...

This version 2 is too dark. I like the other version better. The dark makes the button text hard to see.

I'm using it as a companion to Redshift v2 beta
for Firefox.Works Fine Thank you.
Would like to see a Dark Blue version come out incase a Blueshift v2 comes along.

Awful colour scheme. v1.0 was bright, colourful, and refreshing. This one is like going to a funeral ! Worse thing is, I can't go back to v1.0 now ! What have I done. Avoid this rubbish - keep the earlier version.

When you press number keys 0-5 when you have selected an e-mail, the color usually changes to what you have set your tags to in the configurations of Thunderbird. But you theme disables that and you keep it pink. That's one and when you hover over a button in the configuration window, the texte is pink which is hard to see.
By the way my thunderbird is in french so I had to translate tags which is "Étiquettes" in french.
And maybe have different colors like Microsoft Office 2007 (Blue, Black(which you have) and Silver) That would be great.
