thunderbird-15.0 ugly display screenshot.png

mail-client/thunderbird-15.0 has a very ugly UI coloring scheme. I guess this is a bug rather than a feature. The previous version, mail-client/thunderbird-14.0 is not affected.

You must add emerge --info to the bug report.

Sorry, my mistake:

I just noticed you are using a theme, switch theme or use the default.

You are using a gtk+-2.0 theme which is what is causing you your problems.

Thunderbird 15.0 with Clearlooks theme (GTK2 default).png

Here's how ugly it is with the Clearlooks theme, which to my understanding should be the GTK2 default.

There is nothing mozilla team is gonna do here, you are free to theme your thunderbird or complain to upstream.

In image is the Novula 1.6 theme.
