Preview pane fg/bg colors when selecting multiple messages

Post by MarkEHansen »

I have Thunderbird 45.1.0 on Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit and have installed the TT DeepDark theme, which I really love. It is basically gray foreground on a dark grey background.

However, when I select multiple messages in the message list, the preview pane shows a header which says "2 conversations" or whatever, still in the deep dark theme, but the content shown for the messages (which looks like simple summaries of the messages) is in a very light background and black foreground - which is contrary to the rest of the TT DeepDark theme (or at least in my opinion).

Is there a way I can set the foreground and background of this "summary" area so it can look more in line with the rest of the application?
Perhaps CSS I can put in the userChrome.css file or properties I can set in the user.js file?

I've spent a lot of time looking for this, but can't find any properties that affect this and Google hasn't offered any suggestions either :)

Thanks,

That sounds like something you could ask the author of the TTDeepDark theme to address in an update.

I don't understand your response. I'm not the author of TTDeepDark, so I can't update it.

I was assuming I could override the setting provided by that theme (in this area, anyway) so I was hoping someone could tell me what those settings are, or how I could determine what they are.

Thanks for any help.

Sorry for the typo. What I meant to say (and have corrected to above) is that "That sound like something you could ask the author of the TTDeepDark theme to address in an update."

Thanks, yes I have (I think - I sent an e-mail).

Again, I was hoping someone would know what setting (in the CSS or user.js) controls the foreground/background of that view - irrespective of what the TT DeepDark theme is doing to it.

Thanks,
