43284 - Indicate active theme in Prefs > Appearance > Themes

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect, P3)

Description

[Nick Meara]

The 'Themes' preference panel lists the installed themes, but does not indicate 
which one is currently active. Indicating the currently active theme gives the 
user a frame of reference ('I am using the Modern theme') and allows them to make 
choices based on this ('I want to switch to Classic').

This could be implemented by simply highlighting the active theme when the 
listing is generated.

nav triage team: while this actually sounds like a good idea, we won't be doing 
it because difficulties arise when trying to resolve the notion of an 'active' 
skin when you are using different parts of different skins at the same time (yes 
you can do this).

But no available themes support this, or are likely to. So it is a good idea.
