Why all the buttons are grey (Get message, reply, forward, etc.) in Windows 7, tried it on 3 different machines and do the same thing, look like they are inactive (but they actually work), tried to install Thunderbird on one of my older machine with XP and they are all in color?

I included a screen shot.

I have Thunderbird 31.4.0

Thanks!

Xp has a theme..... Windows Vista / 7 / 8 have a theme. Guess which one used black and white glyphs.

If you want to set your own theme Tools menu > Add-ons > select get add-ons and scroll to the bottom on the page. Select show all full themes on the far right bottom.
