[Bug 1004841] Re: Thunderbird Icon set is broken

[Manuel López-Ibáñez]

Still happens in Kubuntu Precise. The workaround is to download
Thunderbird from mozilla, extra a file called omni.ja and ovewrite the
copy at /usr/lib/thunderbird/. Not sure if this has undesired effects
(it may delete all your email), but it works for me.


** Summary changed:

- Thunderbird Icon set is broken
+ Thunderbird Icon set is broken (ugly, black and white icons)

** Description changed:

  Since Oneiric the standard theme in thunderbird is broken. In Oneiric (and Precise) some of the coloured Icons were replaced by black&white pictograms, but not consistently all. For example the Lightning Icons still remain coloured, as they were before.
  I don't know why some Icons were replaced by pictograms (is this because of a new GTK-Theme?) , this is only in the Linux version of TB, the Windows version still has the coloured icons. It would have been better if the old standard theme remains untouched, and a new theme would have been created for the new black&white pictograms.
  
  See attached screenshot for the weird icons.
