Welcome to our vectorlinux-devel mailing list. The theme is a tough
one, because it was mostly arrived at by installing the xpi on a
running SM and seeing what changed. So far I just kept the chrome.rdf
and overlay.rdf for overwriting in subsequent builds, which is not a
nice way to do it. Since you have an understanding of the rdf files,
you might give us a hint on how to script the addition of the eurynome
theme and newsfox to them. We do the following steps:

1- put eurynome.jar and newsfox.jar in
/opt/seamonkey/lib/seamonkey-1.0.5/chrome/
2- overwrite chrome.rdf and overlays.rdf in that same dir
3- change the /opt/seamonkey/lib/seamonkey-1.0.5/chrome/icons/default/
to the eurynome-matching set
4- Replace /opt/seamonkey/lib/seamonkey-1.0.5/defaults/profile/bookmarks.html
with our customized bookmarks
5- Put our customized userChrome.css and userContent.css in
/opt/seamonkey/lib/seamonkey-1.0.5/defaults/profile/chrome
6- rename /opt/seamonkey/bin/seamonkey
 to seamonkey-original
7- copy our seamonkey script to /opt/seamonkey/bin/

This seamonkey script (step 7) makes it possible to call several parts
of SM from the menu even when SM is already running. The ones that
cannot be called in this situation (would require a different
profile), simply produce a popup explaining that they should be run
from within SM.

Of course, we also add icons and .desktop files for the KDE and XFCE
menus to the package, as well as XFCE helper definition files and an
/etc/profile.d/seamonkey.sh script. A template directory structure
with these elements exists on our repository server.
