In a little more detail...

Using SeaMonkey (and Mozilla, and even Netscape) for years, occasionally play with FF. I'm used to modifying themes and extensions files, mostly so they will install when they work perfectly well but are not approved to install by the gods of AMO or devs who just can't add a line to the install.rdf. Also lightly hack the browser to get what I want. Because as great as SM is, sometimes it just needs to be disciplined.

My Reviews

Zombie Keys (Multilanguage Keyboard)

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Thank you for years of hard work. This was a joy, even when there was no UI element (can't say i needed one) in SeaMonkey.

Belongs in the core browser.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.19). 

Mozilla Archive Format, with MHT and Faithful Save

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Of course it won't be supported, even in SeaMonkey eventually. That all could be easily obviated if the code were folded into the browser itself like it should have been ages ago. A last chance to avoid ruining absolutely everything about the best browser (SM), and the best choice of a bunch of bad browsers (FF).

Simple Locale Switcher

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Works as it says on the tin.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.9). 

Modern2

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I still went back to my hacked M18/Venerable Modern for the tab style and a few other things, but it is very nice and some of the colors are a nice improvement. A few of the colors didn't seem quite as dark as the original, but i can't be certain.

Excellent job. Now people can enjoy this awesome theme without digging through the internet and altering files. It would be great if it could be kept updated as necessary.

Manual Mark As Read seems to work just fine (or as well as it ever did before using the extension). Mark as one would normally.

Dog Ears

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Again, yet more people who apparently can't read.

Don't report your suspected bugs here, but directly to the author.

As to the dog ears "standing out more", they aren't intended to be found visually. Jump to the mark.

Do any of the commenters get, "Please check my site for help or email me. This site is not checked", or what?

Tab Clicking Options

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Folks - if you have compatibility problems, either edit the file or disable compatibility checking. Internet search is your friend.

Or take over development if it is really dead, after checking with the author if necessary. I can't understand everyone whining about free code .

MR Tech Toolkit (local install) is the answer.

You can try installing locally without MR Tech, right click download link and save target. Drag onto a browser window. MR Tech will provide support and an Install Extension option in the File menu.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.8.1). 

EarlyBlue

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

It is one of my favorite themes. Venerable Modern is nice, if you can find it, but it will soon probably be rendered non-functional as SeaMonkey evolves. I just like the blueness.

Also, thumbs up for any developer of SeaMonkey themes. There are so very few.

Installation issues? Yeah, install is sometimes broken. This is what you do:

1) Right click the "add to seamonkey" button, and save the target file where you can find it.

2) Install MR Tech Toolkit (formerly of Local Install fame. See where this is going?)

2.1) (edit) Or the newer Theme Installer extension. That should work well. ;)

3) With MR Tech installed (you can try without installing it first if you like), drag the theme file onto an open browser window. You'll be prompted further to allow installation. You can also use Install Extension from the File menu and browse to the theme file as well.
