I've just upgraded to U10.04 using the default (I think) Radiance theme. I'm slowly getting used to the new min/max/close icon positions.
However, in ThunderBird, the folder listing used to show folders in three different styles: bold black for folders with unread email in them, bold blue for folders with *new* unread email in them, and black (not bold) otherwise.
Now, in U10.04, the folders with new unread email are still bold but now in a light grey colour, making them far less prominent than the other two folder states despite being the most important.
(a) Is this just me? It could be something I've tweaked in the past and need to un-tweak (b) Any idea how to change this?

This is easily changed in the preferences. Just select a them with them on the RHS.

Yeah, I did that at home when I upgraded a couple of months back (to the pre-release, obviously). But I know they plan on making use of the right hand side of the bar so I'm going to see how easy it is to get used to it on my work desktop.

You say that on upgrade the folder colous have changed in Thunderbird?I t sounds as though you are talking about the Thunderbird theme rather than the Gnome theme. It may well be that the Thunderbird theme you are using has changed in its Thunderbird 3 incarnation. In Thunderbird look under Tools> Add-ons> Themes and play around with some new themes there.
As regards Window buttons in Ubuntu, you also needn't suffer the buttons on the left in 10.04. I found that in 10.04 that the button positions change globally so they are on the left irrespective of what Gnome theme you are using. Instructions for it are here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/quick-and-easy-title-bar-button-side-switching-in-...

I was using TB 3.x already so it's not that. It is definitely related to the Gnome theme, as changing that also changes the TB colours; it's just that the default theme (and probably the best theme, in my opinion) shows them new unread folders in this dull grey colour.
Presumably this means I need to determine which style from the Gnome theme is being applied here and change it, any suggestions how I do this?

All sorts of Googling failed me on this but I did eventually find the right keywords to get me here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=792809
I now have my new unread folders in (unimaginative but very visible) blue.
