changing focused button text color

[reg41post]

this is for linux, gtk2, thunderbird 45.8.0.

I've searched and have tried a million little snippets in userChrome.css but can't figure out how to change just the text color once the button graphic appears.

as you can see, when I hover over one its appearance changes but it retains the menu text color which for a dark theme makes it kind of unreadable:

can someone tell me how to change only its text color to black or a darker color without affecting anything else?

Edited by moderator (tanstaafl) to remove the links to the images since they were apparently automatically replaced by ads for that site.

replacement screenshots, I guess the other host was only for a day or something

I suspect you need to figure out the window name using the DomInspector add-on.

Try this:

Code: Select all

#qfb-show-filter-bar[checked="true"]
{ color: red !important; }
