The column headers where you can sort by subject, from, date, ect.. is now just white and does not have any boarders. It blends right in with the message pane which is frustrating. I installed TB on a VM I spun up and the column headers look normal. I suspect the installation on my machine is pulling some old interface or something. I need help to fix this issue.

There is nothing you can change on your system to resolve this. It is a known issue with our first iteration of version 60, and will be fixed in the next 4-5 weeks with an update. Thanks for trying version 60..

The column buttons are a bit better defined with the MS Office 2003 JB Edition theme.

I found that if I change the theme setting in Windows 7 from classic to an Aero theme, the column headers in the message pane look normal. It's only when the classic theme is applied that it changes and looks like a part of the message pane. So, is there any way to stop Thunderbird from using Windows theme settings? I would like to keep the classic theme for Windows.

Is this the issue that will be fixed with the next update?
