No extensions in file explorer are not hidden.
I can open the css file in my html editor.

I believe there is something wrong with TB. It, very likely, does not even "look" at the style sheet.

Re: How to change fonts?
Is there any way to verify that TB actually tries to look the CSS up?

Re: How to change fonts?
It's more likely you have a typo somewhere, as the css file in my 2nd reply works here. The userChrome.css file must be in the chrome folder which is a subfolder of the profile folder. The only time TB ignores a valid css file is if it's running in safe mode, but I don't know how to verify if it's reading css in normal mode. Maybe there's a clue in the Error Console (Ctrl+Shift+J).

I have verified half a dozen times. The css with the correct spelling is located in the chrome folder inside the profiles folder inside the roaming app.
When I access the Error Console I see this message: Unknown property ‘user-select’. Declaration dropped.

Re: How to change fonts?
Lets eliminate the assumptions.
What is the full path to that userChrome.css file?
What is the content of that file?
What directory does "help -> troubleshooting information -> open folder" open windows explorer/file explorer at?

Re: How to change fonts?
OK, here goes:
Full path: (C:)/users/myname/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/chrome/userChrome.css
Content of that file is here: https://silvercircle.github.io/software ... underbird/
Open Window opens one of my two e-mail accounts

Re: How to change fonts?
The path should be C:\Users\myname\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\mpftajqe.default\chrome
The chrome folder is a subfolder of the profile folder, not the Profiles folder.

Re: How to change fonts?
OK, that changes things quite a bit. I was under the apparently erroneous assumption that it chrome was supposed to be a subfolder of the Profiles folder.
I had no idea that the account folder was also called profile folder.
What if i have more than one accounts?

Re: How to change fonts?
A profile, defined by a profile folder, can contain multiple accounts, and it's possible to have multiple profile folders contained in the Profiles folder. 'Account folders' are located in the Mail and ImapMail subfolders of a profile folder. Add a new account to an existing profile starting from File/New/Existing Mail Account. Most users don't need multiple profiles, but multiple accounts in a single profile is common.

Re: How to change fonts?
Hi Guys,
I'm back!
I am wondering if anyone could help me with one thing in the style sheet?
Everything works fine except that I can't see the right-pointing arrows in the right pane (e.g >Older). I'd like to change their color to white but I can't find anything related to those arrows in the style sheet.
