It does look nice, I like it as well, but a Windows style mockup would help to get a better idea/feeling of it in a Windows environment. What looks nice on OS X does not necessarily on Windows due to the different default styling... Also the mockup does not include text or addresses (which I suppose from the mockup, would be used as a list of contacts and no longer individual contact in separate fields) how does it look on OS X when data is filled in? Also to highlight separation between the header fields and the body content I would suggest - to create a better/stronger separation between subject field and body textfield a slightly thicker line (or a double line) maybe at the top of body textfield... or - to use the body format bar which seems to be currently missing on the mockup (where would you place it?) on the OS X screenshot and which currently separate subject field (and other headers) from body textfield in the Windows version of Thunderbird. It is quite handy to have it just at the top of the body textfield... so it may be better integrated with a more "flat design" style to make it more discrete, less bulky than current Windows style in place... A light background color could then be used to highlight active field being edited eventually... but not really required (not needed I believe) as there would be in any case a blinking cursor at the location of current editing area... which I suppose is what is used in Mac OS X version to highlight active field. Hope that help. Thanks for your effort and work on this issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1347305 Title: Address fields are grey when composing messages Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: In Progress Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When composing a message, any address field that does not have the cursor is shown as grey. While this is at first only a cosmetic glitch, it is also serious usability issue: Usually any field that can be edited is white and text that can't be edited is simply drawn grey. Now it looks like Thunderbird does not allow editing of the recipient addresses. Only when you try it regardless you discover that it is still editible. I attached a screenshot showing a stuffed up composer window. This bug appeared with the latest update of Thunderbird that was installed today.
