How to turn off font smoothing in Folders... v102 now.

Post by iX9 »

Hi!
With the new Thun v91, font smoothing gets enabled in Folders and in List of messages. (Other parts of Thunderbird stay unaffected.)
How to disable this? I dont like font smoothing, I have it turned off in windows.

Try toggling gfx.webrender.force-disabled in the config editor (and restarting Thunderbird) as a workaround if you disabled anti-aliasing in Windows.

My impression is that when setting gfx.webrender.force-disabled to true no longer had any effect, you could set gfx.webrender.force-legacy-layers to true as the new workaround until version 93. After that it doesn't appear there is any way to disable webrender, all you can do is specify whether it uses hardware or software

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1585091 (Setting gfx.webrender.all=false does not disable WebRender) was marked won't fix.
