Thunderbird? YAY!

waylman said 1607 days ago:

Looking good!

But we have to know: is that just icons coming soon or more? And any indication of when?

Ok, so maybe you can't tell but I had to ask. Thanks for the teaser!

Tomas said 1607 days ago:

Yes! I was just thinking that Thunderbird really needs a new (Firefox-like) icon!

The icon Thunderbird has now, which is an envelope, always makes me think that the object in the taskbar is an open e-mail, or a composed one in progress, as opposed to a view of the inbox.

Greg said 1607 days ago:

Jon, I can only hope that you're next project will be to create a kick ass theme for Firefox.

Johan Svensson said 1607 days ago:

Heh. My first thought was "Pokémon?"

Paul Mayne said 1607 days ago:

I've been using Mozilla Thunderbird .5 for over a month now, initially for the spam control. It's a been fantastic alternative for outlook express. Super fast and many options.
Your logo's are awesome, glad they have you on board for this stuff.

Randy Walker said 1607 days ago:

LOL @ Johan. I thought pokémon too! Great minds think alike!

René Wuttke said 1607 days ago:

I just can't await it! TB desperately needs a new icon!

Josh Jarmin said 1607 days ago:

Is it still going to be Thunderbird? Or something like Thunderfox?

Firefox Greg? I had you down as a Safari user...

LeBreeze is the kick-ass theme for Firefox, I recently started to enjoy.

Finding Nemo 2, cool!

It's the Big Blue Bug of Justice!

Joen said 1606 days ago:

Great, just great.

I truly think a great visual identity (like the one you gave Firefox) will boost the spread of mozilla tech greatly.

"Is it still going to be Thunderbird? Or something like Thunderfox?"

I'd just like to point out, to everyone who thinks Firefox is a meaningless name, that they're wrong. "Firefox" is what the Chinese call the lesser panda. (Of course, they use the Chinese words for fire and fox.) It's a small, orange animal of the raccoon family. Very cute, if you've ever seen one in real life.

I still think the Firefox icon is the nicest one on my desktop, by the way.

Greg said 1606 days ago:

I use Safari when on Mac. Most of my day is spent in front of XP and Firefox, which is ok but the interface could use a little help. Especially from the Silver Orange — Jon Hicks super team.

Jonathan Hicks said 1606 days ago:

You're in luck. The same folks that made the pinstripe theme for OS X are working on a new theme right now....

Seth said 1606 days ago:

A new theme for our lovely WINDOWS Firefox??

#21

Asa Dotzler said 1606 days ago:

Paul D, actually it's not in the racoon family but the bear family. There was some disagreement and uncertainty decades ago but genetic molecular analysis has firmly placed the firefox alongside the giant panda in the bear family, Ursidae..

René Wuttke said 1605 days ago:

Will we see the new Icon in 0.6 and the nightlys before?

I use TB as my main mail client under MacOS X. The only one that can be configured to use a preexisting folderset on an IMAP server, instead off forcing you to use its own folder(names), like Mail.app or Entourage.

How cruel. How can you leave us hanging like that? We need more! ;-)

Oh, you're tricky all right.

Is there also going to be a wallpaper like the wallpaper of Firefox? I really like the firefox wallpaper and looking at the tbird preview i'm also going to love the tbird wallpaper...

Kevin Davis said 1604 days ago:

Good Work Jon! I'll keep my eyes open for developments on this!

Could you share any more information about what Kevin and Stephen are doing in way of a firefox/thunderbird theme for windows?

#29

rgw said 1604 days ago:

Are we going to have a legal situation where the new Firefox/Thunderbird theme will only be on official builds and the unofficial builds will still use Qute?

Jeff Walden said 1604 days ago:

Looks nice. A completely evil post, however. Grrr...

Josh S said 1603 days ago:

I can't wait for the new icon! The firefox icon rocks and it's one of my favorite icons ever.

I also love the OSX Firefox theme... I can't wait to see what is next!
