Star color

Post by Rudles »

Is there a way to change the color of the star used to flag messages? The default yellow is too subtle for old eyes.

Those stars are images/icons. You can change them with your own if you wish using userChrome.css or with Stylish. You'll need to change the path to wherever you store the image.

Here are the two codes:

Code: Select all

treechildren::-moz-tree-image(flaggedCol) {
  list-style-image: url("chrome://messenger/skin/icons/flag-empty.png");
}

treechildren::-moz-tree-image(flaggedCol, flagged) {
  list-style-image: url("chrome://messenger/skin/icons/flag.png");
}


...or you could use an image editor to change the color.

Thanks! This is great. That is what I love about open source; you can change about anything that you want. This is just what I was looking for. I am going to go in and make these changes right away. Making software your own is an important part of making your world right.

You're welcome. If you use userChrome.css you may need to add !important; to the codes to override the default.

treechildren::-moz-tree-image(flaggedCol) {
list-style-image: url("chrome://messenger/skin/icons/flag-empty.png")
!important;
}

treechildren::-moz-tree-image(flaggedCol, flagged) {
list-style-image: url("chrome://messenger/skin/icons/flag.png") !important;
}
