Still, no mac scrollbars and the open/close folder arrows are the same. Either way, still looks pretty nice!

Yes, it does. At least the previous version worked fine. See this post for a Mac screenshot of the earlier version ;-)

Hey, Tim, no big deal. I wasn’t complaining, just making sure. Does the same mod works on the Thunderbird for Mac? I’d believe so… I used to be a fan of Thunderbird on Windows and Linux, but now I find Mail.app more convenient. But I have to say, I’ve never ran Thunderbird on the Mac myself, so my opinion is not exactly unbiased, hehe

Yes, it is a Windows screenshot. You’ve smoked me out!

I’m wilting under a heavy burden of freelance writing (like, for actual money!) at the moment and was too stretched for time to do the job properly. Apologies.

This is a windows screenshot, right? Anyway, I still prefer the Mail 1.0 looks that shipped with Panther, and I’ve modded my Mail 2.0 to use those icons instead.

Ah I see. I had another font selected to display the email list, one that doesn’t have a ‘bold’ version. So it wasn’t displaying correctly. Silly me.

If you are using Tiger Mail, Mail > Preferences > Viewing > Display unread messages with bold font

“In keeping keeping with its attempts to reproduce the Mail 2.0 look, it now follows Mail.appâ€™s default behaviour of bolding new messages.”

Does Mail.app do this? It doesn’t seem to on my install. How do you configure this preference?
