i think it could be the way i have uploaded the themes. first i uploaded the
blue one for ff. than the blue for tb. but i saw that he overrides the blue ff.
they had the same guid. so i changed the guid for all tb themes at one point. so
far i used only a different guid with the colors (one for blue, and one for
green...). so i deleted the new file version for the blue ff and uploaded the
new blue tb. now, i get a message that a theme with this name is already there.
so i changed the name in the form with appendix " for thunderbird". now it
works, it shows as a new product and all was ok. i uploaded all other themes and
it looks not good that the ff has no appendix, but the tb. so i renamed the ff
with the appendix "for firefox".

after the first comments and ideas i changed the theme a bit and uploaded the
1.0.1. now i used for ff the normal name (Outlook 2003 Blue) for tb the appendix
tb in the name (Outlook 2003 BlueTB). more and more wrote that they couldn't
download it so i tried very often but i could download and use it. but as i want
to save it with "save as" the file wasn't found on ftp. so looked at it and you
can see that the folders were different. the folder on the ftp is another than
the file ff want to download with "save as" on the site.

maybe the renaming action was the misstake. the next releases will be named for
ff "outlook 2003 blue" or "Outlook 2003 Green"... and for the tb themes "Outlook
2003 BlueTB" or "Outlook 2003 GreenTB", as i did now. i hope it will help you to
fix it.

I am **** that updating screwed the look of the browser. May as well us IE you dumb a****!!!!!!and this is a clean version of what i  really want to say. You idiots should fix it. there isnt a button, box or what ever to enable software d/l just a box to click to add trusted sites ff is in the list and it still wont work should this be automatically enabled to d/l from ff YES when i update it should just work with you site what dumbass thought hey we will dissable this when you update so you cant find it or make it work. I even saved the file pasted it into the file folder every where and it wont work looks like when you pick d/l the file it wont give it all to you. and the install button is just stupid when it says click edit options ad you do an no matter what it wont work thanks you idiots..............................................
