New Thunderbird Start Page

I just updated the Thunderbird start page a bit. I think this one looks more modern than stylish compared to my original design.

Old vs New.

Very nice, reminiscient of the original, yet cleaner. I like it :-)

Nice!
Some little comments though:
* I don't like the (extra) spacing between the letters in the headers and the bullet list
* Can you make the TB logo a bit smaller, it tends to crowd the space when viewed in the default 3paned message view

Greetings, Alfred

It sure looks better than the old one, but it doesn't scale properly (the old one does).

I think it looks great, the top is sweet :)

I don't like the round-cornered rollovers in the links. For instance, when your mouse is over "RSS Reader" it looks like the R is niet highlighted.

I also think you should remove the gradient background (white to lightblue, it's in the old version too); you see stripes on my monitor.

I tried it in thunderbird... and it looks really nice!
Very cool!
