OSX Pinstripe themes for Windows Firefox and Thunderbird

February 18, 2005 | 11:59 a.m. CST

I have a PowerBook and I just love the Pinstripe theme that is the default theme for Thunderbird for OSX. However, if your use both OSX and Windows then you run into a problem on windows machines because it's not the default choice or even an option to download directly from Mozilla. So I decided to do a little Google searching and I found ports for Pinstripe to Windows for both Firefox and Thunderbird .

To install the themes download the jar file for both Firefox and Thunderbird . As a side note the link to download the Thunderbird jar file was hard to find since it was on this Japanese site. But at any rate… To install the Thunderbird theme all you have to do is click on Tools > Themes and then click on the Install button and browse to where you downloaded the jar file.

To install the Firefox theme it's a little bit trickier because there isn't an install button. So what you have to do is click on Tools > Themes like you did with Thunderbird but then instead of clicking on a Install button what you have to do is drag the jar file you downloaded onto the theme window.

Enjoy!
