I use SeaMonkey Portable, the latest version updated through the launcher.
Recently, I've started using themes in it.
I want to make my own theme.
The guides online list different locations for various files that I cannot locate within my portable version.
Can you please list the file changes between the portable versus standard install?
Specifically, I need all the CSS file locations.
I can't find [b]any[/b] CSS files within my installation... and I know I'm using some, because I have themes active.
If nothing else, where are the folders?

my SeaMonkey Portable has files within my users/me/appdata/roaming/mozilla folder...??
This might be because I've loaded themes into SeaMonkey, as well as extensions... but I cannot find any CSS files in my portable folders...?
They should be in your profile somewhere inside SeamonkeyPortable/Data.

Thank you for the comment.
I've searched that location and found XPI files of the themes I've installed.
Are you familiar with how SeaMonkey was made portable?
I'm starting to think that the XPI (zip) files are extracted when I run the program...
I managed to get a copy to stay after closing by trying to tweak it while loaded... probably a bad idea, now that I think of it.
Can you elaborate a little bit more?
And I think I could make a copy of the temp folder (from when SM is running) and tweak that... then package that as an XPI and install it back into SM?
EDIT
I have been unable to locate CSS files referenced on the mozilla website, whether running SM or not. Across all partitions.
Is it possible the mozilla website is incorrect?

All I want in a theme is the old Firefox buttons and black border with white text for the GUI- not for pages. And a more visible 'throbber' animation (one that can be spotted with small icons in use)- in case someone knows of one.
I'm using Stylish at the moment, but it eats up too many resources for my taste.
You need to create them.
"Neither userChrome.css nor userContent.css exist by default. If you want them, you create them in the chrome subdirectory underneath the user's profile directory. userChrome.css controls CSS for the UI chrome of the Mozilla application; userContent.css controls CSS for content inside windows."

In case of SeaMonkey Portable the part of the default directory for placing your custom userChrome.css file would be as follows:
...\SeaMonkeyPortable\Data\profile\chrome
And, since the chrome subfolder does not exists by default (at least in the Portable Edition, the latest version), you need to create it as well.
EDIT: THANK YOU FOR THE LINK! I don't know WHY I couldn't find that page on my own! Just the resource I was looking for!
END EDIT
Thank you dearly for the response!
I thought that by having a theme applied in SM, those files would appear...?
I might just make a copy of the SM folders and see about tinkering with that...
Can you elaborate further on what was changed to make SM portable? I've tried looking for txt files within the folders... do you know which one(s) I should focus on? I'm not a programmer :/
You really need to specify what particular files you are looking for. Please, give their exact names, along with the paths, locations, you were instructed in your reading material to find them.
no more questions, I've figured out what I'm doing now.
I have managed to locate all the file locations that I couldn't find previously.
I misunderstood what I had read earlier, but I got it now.
And thanks again for that link.
