bold the top msg in threaded view when child is unread (Mac)

Post by thunderkis65 »

I'm using
* Thunderbird Nighty build - (113.0a1 (2023-03-28) (64-bit) on MacOS
* Thunderbird General Release - 102.9.0 (64-bit)

With the General Release - I do not have a problem. However, with the Nightly build, I do have a problem.

I have threaded view on, and when the child has a new message, the top message is not bold. Do any of you have any thoughts on how to bold the top message in threaded view when a child message is unread?

> This is top message remains UNBOLD
- Old Child message
- New Child message is BOLD

In the view, it appears like this
> This is top message remains UNBOLD

Without opening the thread, I wouldn't know that there are messages in the thread.

My %THUNDERBIRDPROFILE%/chrome/userChrome.css file looks like

Code: Select all

/*
* Do not remove the @namespace line -- it's required for correct functioning
*/

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");

/* set default namespace to XUL */

/*
    * Collapsed read thread, but the thread contains unread , set text to bold black
*/
   treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(container, closed, hasUnread, read) {
     text-decoration: none !important;
     font-weight:  bold !important;
     color: #000000 !important;
   }

/*
    * If thread selected, revert to highlight text color
*/
   treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(container, closed, hasUnread, read, focus, selected),
   treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(container, hasUnread, read, focus, selected) {
     color: HighlightText !important;
   }


window {
  --viewTodayBackground: red !important;
  --viewDayBoxSelectedBackground: orange !important;
}

Probably not yet implemented in the redesigned message list. There are lots of issues that are being worked on right now.

Thanks yall very much, that makes sense. I'll be on the lookout for it being implemented in a future build.
