Change background color of folder and message pane

[smsmith]

Hi,
I believe the last update (.16) broke my way to change the background color of the folder and message pane.
I used this userchrome.css

/* Folderpane & Messagepane */
treechildren {
background-color: #C9C9C9 !important; }

however now every other line has a white background.

i tried several other methods of changing the background, but it always had a similar result in that every other line wasn't affected by the changes.

Is there a new way to do this ?

Do you want the simple fix or the technical explained fix?

Thanks for your response.
I read up a bit about this and it seems that Thunderbird/SeaMonkey uses off and on a system of even and odd lines, to make things more legible at the cost of some performance. Seems it was turned on again in SeaMonkey.
But I would settle for the quick fix. No need to waste too much of your time

Sure, no problem. Loads of ways to fix this, but here's just one -

Code: Select all

/* Franks Folderpane & Messagepane TreeChildren Background Fix... */
treechildren {
background-color: #C9C9C9 !important; }

treechildren:not(.autocomplete-treebody)::-moz-tree-row(multicol, odd) {
  background-color: unset !important;}
