# Monterail Dark
_Monterail Dark, a Thunderbird theme inspired by the mockup of Monterail_
## Another version: [Monterail Full Dark](https://github.com/conema/monterail-fulldark)
## Thunderbird v68
WARNING: the last version is only compatible with Thunderbird 78.x
## What is this?
This is a full theme for the Thunderbird e-mail client, inspired by [Monterail](https://monterail.com/blog/2016/the-power-of-email-clients-why-did-we-redesign-thunderbird) mockup and by [spymastermatt](https://github.com/spymastermatt/thunderbird-monterail)'s dark theme. As opposed to the spymastermatt's version, this theme can be **installed easily and quickly with an addon** and it's **compatible with Thunderbird 78**. The previously versions are compatible also with Thunderbird 68.
## Installation
### Manual (from source)
The first step is to [download](https://github.com/conema/monterail-dark/archive/master.zip) the theme, unzip the contents and re-create a zip only with the content of "monterail-dark" folder. Change the extension of the archive to ".xpi". An extensive guide for install the xpi file can be found [here](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/installing-addon-thunderbird) on the Mozilla support site, starting from "A slightly less ideal case". The Addon Manager can be found by clicking the menu icon  (on the right, next to the search bar) followed by Add-ons and click on the Themes panel on the left.
### Theme market (**recommended procedure**)
The theme can be directly downloaded from the Thunderbird Add-on market, the old version can be found by searching "Monterail Dark" directly in the add-on page of thunderbird or [there](https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/monterail-dark/), the new version can be found by searching "Monterail Dark 2.0 for TB>68" directly in the add-on page of thunderbird or [there](https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/monterail-dark-2-0-for-tb-68/).

## FAQ
* Installation fail/Theme didn't change in Thunderbird 60
This seems a know issue of Thunderbird 60 [[1]](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1484393) [[2]](http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=3041219). With this workaround it'll work:
1. Go where your application data are stored, they usually can be found in:
- Windows: `C:\Users\[your windows user]\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\[(literally) random letters and numbers].default/`
- Linux: `/home/[your linux user]/.thunderbird/[(literally) random letters and numbers].default/`
- MacOS: `/home/[your macos user]/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/[(literally) random letters and numbers].default/`
2. Go to the "extensions" folder, here there should be a file named "[email protected]"
3. While Thunderbird is opened in background, delete the "[email protected]" file.
4. Restart Thunderbird and reinstall the theme
5. Restart Thunderbird again, the theme now should work
* The original Monterail version will be released?
Nope, it already exists: [Monterail by Paenglab](https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/monterail/).
* This theme works with Windows/Linux/MacOS?
Yes. Currently the theme has been tested only on Windows 10 and openSUSE. You are free to open an issue here on GitHub if you find bugs.
* With which versions of Thunderbird can I use this theme?
Version **[1.2.5](https://github.com/conema/monterail-dark/releases/tag/1.2.5)** works with Thunderbird **<=60.x**. Version **[2.1](https://github.com/conema/monterail-dark/releases/tag/2.1)** works only with Thunderbird **68**. The last versions works with Thunderbird **78**.
