I would also <b>propose a TOP LEVEL menu item</b> , for those who
use the full menu, and or label in the caption area for those who
don't.<br>
<br>
What I really like about a menu item is that it :<br>
<br>
1. takes very little screen space<br>
2. is immediately understood as a command (could be jump to
donation page or subscribe to pro version)<br>
3. is permanent. I highly recommend making it a color so it sticks
out a little. maybe even a subtle but cool animation (does anybody
remember netscape) every 20 minutes that can be disabled. It
should also "echo" the color / or logo of the landing page so it
is understood as an "extension" of the Thunderbird identity.<br>
4. Can be removed for the "subscribed version"<br>
5. If it is top right or top left it is in a visual hot spot<br>
<br>
I also believe it should include an icon (16px max) to show that
we are different, but opinions on this might vary.<br>
<br>
A rough photoshopped Example on how this would look here on my
windows:<br>
<br>
<img src="cid:part1.05040301.09020301@gmail.com" alt=""><br>
<br>
I would strongly agree that this is the way to go! <br>
<br>

<blockquote class=" cite" id="Cite_3052819" type="cite">For
reaching users attention for a donation using Thunderbird
itself <br>
seems to be more then logical. And yes it can be a negative
impact with <br>
the wrong decision. <br>
<br>
Thinking about it, there are different ways to get attention:
<br>
-- slash screen <br>
-- start page <br>
-- opening a tab after upgrade of TB or with new install <br>
-- adding a menu item to the Hamburger (the TB Menu placed to
the far <br>
right on the menu bar. <br>

A menuitem in the Help submenu could work, in addition to the
Start page. <br>

Yes, I agree <br>
All other aspect of our campaign should be temporary or have the
option to disable. <br>
But a user that wants to donate, but needs more info, should
always find that in Help ! About Donations <br>
