About this Add-on

Real previous & next buttons for message navigation, updated to support Thunderbird versions through 10.x with correct icons. Should work with all versions, but may show incorrect icons on older versions. Please email me ([email protected]) with OS and Thunderbird versions if the icons are wrong.

This add-on is a modified version the RealPrevNextButtons add-on by Shadow912. The hard-coded CSS was replaced with JavaScript to actively clone the style of the regular previous and next buttons on startup, allowing the icons to be correct regardless of the platform and Thunderbird version.

Version Information

Version 0.3 Released Feb. 19, 2012 3.0 KiB Works with Thunderbird 5.0 - 11.0

This should now work with all versions (at least after 5.0), and all operating systems. The functionality was there already, but the icons didn't work all the time.

I replaced all the hard-coded CSS, and replaced it with a script that clones the styles for the regular previous and next buttons every time Thunderbird is loaded. That way, even if the skin changes, the buttons should always show the correct icons.
