Howdy,
I've been experimenting (with nearly total success) with display tweaks generated by a userCHROME.css file.
At this point, I have just one hitch:
When I click on Inbox, my message list displays as I would like, but the single message that has the cursor on it, is impossible to read:
That's because the selection bar is pale blue, and the text is white. The contrast is so low, that I can't read a word.
What userCHROME.css tweak will control the color of the text of that selected message subject line etc?
Sincere thanks,
A.C.

Try this:

Code: Select all
/* Thunderbird userChrome.css */
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
#threadTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row(selected, focus)
{ background-color: darkslateblue !important; }
#expandedHeaderView
{ background-color: gainsboro !important; }

Hi again,
With further experimentation, I do have another question:
What is the CSS tweak to change the color of the header on the inbox (that is, the header that displays such things as "Subject -- From -- Date" etc?
Many thanks, as before,
A.C.

Try this:
The terminology is folder pane, thread pane and message pane. The main window is called the 3pane window.
The inbox is a folder in the folder pane.
Code: Select all
#threadTree treecol
{ -moz-border-top-colors: peachpuff peachpuff !important;
-moz-border-right-colors: peachpuff peachpuff !important;
-moz-border-bottom-colors: peachpuff peachpuff !important;
-moz-border-left-colors: peachpuff peachpuff !important;
background-color: peachpuff !important;
color: cornflowerblue !important; }
The inbox is a folder in the folder pane.

Hi again Morat,
I tried your suggestion above by cutting and pasting, but the area I called the "Header" remains white.
Thanks for any further thoughts,
A.C.

Re: userCHROME.css tweak?
The style colors the header in the thread pane in Windows 7.
Hopefully, a Windows 10 user will post a solution.
