Ah, okay, thanks. I hadn't gone any further with it.

Yeah, that was pretty handy for quick tests. I chose the Raleigh
theme since it was one of the three choices available by default.
Then, even though it was possible to do the tests in the Application
Style  interface, once it was working, I decided to install Claws Mail
in the VM to make sure it also worked there.

No worries. It was quick.

Same here. I made a valiant attempt to examine it all and make some
sense out of it last summer and decided it was too much of a mess, so
I'm just walking away.

Yeah, I saw that you had mentioned that in another message in here.
Thanks for pointing it out. That's the kind of thing that can end up
being a real head-scratcher if you're not aware of it.

Yep, and I agree that that should be renamed to avoid confusion.

I'm glad to hear it. It's always nice when a plan comes together.
