ReminderFox

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

great thunderbird add-on for someone with a bad memory like myself. only issue i've ran into is that the automatic syncing to my FTP server does not work right. I can manually import/export without problems, but when i create a reminder on one machine it never automatically adds itself to reminderfox on the other. Also, if I delete reminders they are not removed from other machines, even if i manually export after deletion. If I could get around these problems this would be perfect...

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.9.1). 

Black Google

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The download button isn't working, so I can't try this add-on. But I think ppl that are rating this poorly because there is no power saving when using an LCD monitor are being a bit harsh. I just wanted something that turns google black because I hate bright white screens and I use google frequently. This looks like it would be perfect for me, but i cant tell atm since i cant d/l it.

This is a nice theme consisting of my two favorite colors. I've been trying to eradicate overly-white window backgrounds on my system (due to the fact that it is often connected to large displays in an otherwise dark environment). This theme works very well in that regard, once you set the message view to have a black background and white text.

For the most part, it's also good as far as visibility goes. The only major issue I have with this theme at all is the alternating message colors, and I see others have mentioned it also. The grey to black to red just doesn't work, as the red font blends with the red along the bottom, and a bit with the grey on the top. This coloring works well on the tool bar and other areas where there are larger/bold fonts, but not so well with the smaller text of the message list. A couple other minor changes:

On my "Compose" window, the subject and font bars are a light blue/grey shade, which is just a bit of an eyesore. Also, in the same window, the "Security" button looks a bit off (see here: http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk265/steiner666/thunderblood.jpg ) and when you put your cursor on it, it moves up/down and tiles. Also, maybe have unread messages stand out a bit more.

IMO, I think the alternating colors on the inbox list should be either reversed to black font on red background, white font, or leave it the way it is if the font could be outlined a bit in black somehow to make it stand out more. Although ideally, there should a menu for changing/disabling the alternating altogether.

Overall, it's the best theme available, at least to fit my tastes. I'd love to see an updated version with these things fixed though.
