Ah, that seems to have done it.Flycaster wrote:Figured out what I was doing wrong...or not doing right. The controls were there all the time, it is that I was going to the wrong place for them. I thought that the font controls would be in the Options of the add-on, itself. Nah, they are in the Tools dropdown>Theme Font &... All is well, now.

Re: Font Too Small/Theme and Font Changer stopped working
The web page mentions that you need to
1) Delete the (old) add-on that was previously installed before installing the new one
2) You need to configure the upgrade settings for the new version of the add-on using the options for that add-on in tools -> add-ons -> extensions (or whatever the OSX equivalent is) to prevent it from automatically upgrading to the expired add-on in the Mozilla add-ons web site.
Did you do all of that?
Does a "theme font & size changer" button show up on the toolbar in the main window and/or a "theme font and size changer" menu get added to the bottom of the Tools menu after you restart Thunderbird?
If yes, when you select it, do you get a popup window that lets you chose the font and font size?

I did that, but the new one was shown with the old date, That confused me for a while.tanstaafl wrote:1) Delete the (old) add-on that was previously installed before installing the new one
I can not figure out how to do that. There are only three items under "preferences" for that add on, none of which involve updates.2) You need to configure the upgrade settings for the new version of the add-on using the options for that add-on in tools -> add-ons -> extensions (or whatever the OSX equivalent is) to prevent it from automatically upgrading to the expired add-on in the Mozilla add-ons web site.
Yes and yes. I got confused by the fact that once I installed the add-on, the fonts were OK. But after I closed and restarted they weren't, until I found that menu item and set things up there.Does a ... "theme font and size changer" menu get added to the bottom of the Tools menu after you restart Thunderbird?

Thanks.

"I can not figure out how to do that. There are only three items under "preferences" for that add on, none of which involve updates."
Go to tools -> add-ons -> extensions and press the "More" link for the Theme Font and Size Changer (No expire) add-on, just under its name (Not the Options button to the right) Select "off" in Automatic updates.

Thanks, that did the trick. I was looking under "preferences" which is always where one finds that (except in this case).tanstaafl wrote:"I can not figure out how to do that. There are only three items under "preferences" for that add on, none of which involve updates."
