Addons Clean themes for Thunderbird/Betterbird updated to 1.1.4

Styled notification bar in Thunderbird Conversations

Two small updates to the Clean themes since the last post:

1.1.3: theme fixes

- Linux (KDE): hovering the minimise or maximise button no longer fills it with a solid colour that hides the icon. It now gets a light tint instead.

- macOS: dialog windows (folder properties, event summary) should no longer show the window behind them in the title bar, and the reminder window should no longer be see-through. I don't have a Mac, so I couldn't test this fix myself.

1.1.4: Conversations stylesheet

- If you use the Thunderbird Conversations add-on with the optional stylesheet, its notification bars now match the theme. Blocked remote content, junk, outbox and calendar invitations get a faint tint of your accent colour with rounded corners and pill buttons, instead of the bright cyan bar. Scam and OpenPGP warnings are still red, but as a soft tint rather than a solid red bar.

- To get this, copy the new conversations-clean.css into your profile again. The themes themselves didn't change in this release.

I've only tested on Betterbird 153 on Linux. If you're on macOS, please let me know whether the dialog fix works for you. If you find bugs on macOS and have the time and will to help debug them, please send me a DM. Reports from Windows users are welcome too.

Desktop Solved I made an add-on that adds OMEMO encryption to Thunderbird's XMPP chat

0 Upvotes

If you use Thunderbird's built-in chat with an XMPP account, it can't encrypt messages the way phone apps like Conversations and Cheogram do. This free add-on adds that (OMEMO) for one-to-one chats, with a padlock on every encrypted message and verification by fingerprint or QR code.

It also has an optional Chat contacts tab that names chat contacts from your address book.

GitHub (free, open source): https://github.com/precisioncrab/thunderbird-omemo

Also on Gumroad, pay what you want: https://precisioncrab.gumroad.com/l/omemo

It has to be installed from a file, after one Config Editor setting, because Thunderbird's add-on site doesn't accept add-ons that reach into the chat code. Steps are in the README. Tested on Thunderbird 156 and 158 on Windows.
