Still No Theme and Font Changer in Toolbar

Post by JamesJoey »

I stopped using Thunderbird for a while and installed it today.
I see the Theme and Font Changer is still screwed up as far as not being able to see it in the toolbar or anywhere else in Thunderbird.
I looked at an old port of mine here and couldn't make heads or tails of it.

Is there a fix????

Apparently, it's still got problems, according to the Reviews.

Not sure what you want me to do here.

I found 2 versions of TFSC.
Should I install the earlier version?

I even wonder why this add-on is still around if one can't even use it in Thunderbird.

Its worked for a long time, expired in January, somebody forked it to create a non-expiring version and then the original was updated. It didn't use the toolbar, it added a menu item to the tools menu. However, it (Theme Font & Size Changer for ThunderBird 64.1) seems to have broken in the latest update to Thunderbird (52.7.0). The other one on AMO is now just for Firefox. The (non-expiring fork) at http://www.rossde.com/ThemeFontSizeChan ... index.html displays the menu item and lets you configure the font size/setting, but has no effect with TB 52.7.0. However, its works with TB 45.8.0. I suspect the first one on AMO would too.

There is going to be chaos for a while as the Thunderbird developers don't have a real plan yet to deal with add-ons breaking due to changes made by Firefox in the mozilla toolkit yet. They have a wiki documenting necessary changes that need to be made to the add-ons and have implemented that in a handful of popular add-ons but don't have a plan yet for what to do about the vast majority of add-ons yet (many of which are no longer maintained, or the author is waiting for a signs that there is a decent strategy for what to do about dropped support for XUL/XPCOM in place)
