Orthodox for Firefox 0.3.1; changelog.
Orthodox for Thunderbird 0.3.1; changelog.
I have completed updating the Thunderbird theme for Thunderbird 3; now, as the Firefox theme, it has one file for both Linux and Windows platforms, which now makes updating much easier. At the same time, right now I am completely satisfied with Thunderbird 2 and have not yet seen any reason to switch to TB3; therefore, personally I use the version 0.1.3 for TB2.
I found one interesting thing in TB3 worth mentioning here. In Firefox, I like the close button to be on the right side and which closes the active tab instead of having one on every tab. In FF2 and FF3 it may be achieved by setting browser.tabs.closeButtons to value 3 in about:config (or putting it in userChrome.css). Likewise, I did not like the similar style in TB3 tabs and tried the same setting in its config editor. By trial, I found that the corresponding TB setting is mail.tabs.closeButtons, which, being set to 3, removes the close buttons from the tabs and puts one on the right, except the button image is not associated with it, so it appears like an empty space which exposes itself as a little square on hover and works as expected when you click on it. It may be a good idea to put the close button image there in the next version.

Orthodox for Thunderbird 0.3 (for Thunderbird 3.0+) is under way. Right now the 0.3 version is ready. It works fine on Windows Thunderbird but needs to be improved to work well on Linux Thunderbird. Meanwhile, I updated Orthodox for Thunderbird 0.1 for Thunderbird 2 fixing minor issues with toolbar icons (directory, changelog).

Orthodox 0.2.2 is out! See Orthodox for Firefox directory. Read the new changes in the changelog.
As to why there is no Netscape throbber in this version. It looks really ugly in the menu bar and I still have no idea how to put it at the end of the toolbar/address/search bar. This requires more work than I thought it would, and, as I have already mentioned on Orthodox page on Mozilla's site, total rebranding of Firefox into Netscape is not the ultimate goal of Orthodox. Rather, it is preserving the Netscape way.

I finally made Orthodox 0.1 for Windows Thunderbird 2. The only thing left is the menus which are a little different from classic, but this is a Windows issue (see ClassicFox). Shame, but I don't remember how I fixed it in the 0.1 version for Windows Firefox 2. The final versions are here:
- Orthodox 0.2.0 for Firefox 3 (Linux)
- Orthodox 0.2.0 for Firefox 3 (Windows)
- Orthodox 0.1 for Firefox 2 (All)
- Orthodox 0.1 for Thunderbird 2 (Linux)
- Orthodox 0.1 for Thunderbird 2 (Windows)
