After upgrading from 11.0 to 11.1, firefox and thunderbird look has change:

- scroll bars have no more central button
- buttons have no more border
- selected text is no more in reverse video
- input fields have no more border

I have use the freebsd-update to do the upgrade as describe in the handbook section 23.2.3. Performing Major and Minor Version Upgrades.

Everything else works fine with firefox/thunderbird.
All other softwares haven't this problem (open office, qpdfview, leafpad, lxterminal, etc.)

My desktop is lxde.
I have wait to many patches hoping it will correct my problem but nothing has change:
Code: 
% bsdinfo
OS: FreeBSD amd64
Kernel: 11.1-RELEASE-p4

firefox version: 58.0.2 (64-bit)
thunderbird version: 52.6.0 (64-bit)

Any help will be appreciate.

This shouldn't be needed after a minor upgrade but try to force an upgrade of everything; pkg upgrade -f
 
maybe thunderbird is using gtk3 per default? , what options are show if you compile from ports? (gtk2 and gtk3)
 
Yes, it works!
I change the theme with lxappearance from Raleigh to Adwaita.
I have this problem from at least three months...

But why the Raleigh theme doesn't work?

How can I see if thunderbird is using gtk3?
Click to expand...
% pkg info thunderbird

Code: 
%  pkg info thunderbird | grep GTK
    GTK2           : off
    GTK3           : on
% pkg info firefox | grep GTK
%

So thunderbird uses gtk3 but nothing is returned for firefox.

One possible explanation why the Raleigh theme doesn't work properly is that it is a gtk2 theme and thunderbird/firefox uses gtk3.

Code: 
% ls /usr/local/share/themes/Raleigh
gtk-2.0

As I done the upgrade near the setting of the Raleigh theme, I thought my problem was due to the upgrade.
Now, I think it is not an upgrade problem.
