I installed it over version 60.9. As prophesied, the Lightning Calendar extension failed to work, even though I had also selected that in the Test repo. Fortunately, following the instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ca ... hunderbird restored it:

1. Go to the Advanced section of Thunderbird Preferences and click on Config Editor...
2. Copy or start typing extensions.installedDistroAddon.{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103} into the search box
3. When extensions.installedDistroAddon... is listed in the preferences list, right-click on it and choose Reset from the context menu - the preference now isn't bold anymore and its value is empty
4. Close the editor, leave the Thunderbird options, open Thunderbird's add-ons manager and switch to the list of installed extensions
5. If Lightning is listed there, click on Remove to the right of the list item
6. Restart Thunderbird

After Thunderbird has been relaunched, Lightning will be back and you will have access to your calendar data.

TB 68+ no longer supports complete themes that update all the UI colors. Fortunately, the functionality can still be duplicated by extensions. So far, I've only found a couple, and both of them are dark. Still, either one is an improvement on TB's native themes. And you can always tweak them if you're comfortable unzipping the XPI and editing the CSS.

If you're interested, the two extensions are Monterail Full Dark 2 for TB>68 and DeepDark for Thunderbird.

Thanks for testing and the tip.

I attempted to install the new Thunderbird and Lightning, but there appears to be a version conflict.
Perhaps the repositories I'm using aren't up-to-date yet?
