Quoted material when replying

Post by slowbrowser »

I have set up the quoted material font color to yellow when replying a message. The only color that works is blue, which is ok if your background is white; mine is black. (poor eyesight)

Is this a bug? any solutions?

thank you,

Create or find a file called userContent.css and drop it in
the "chrome" folder in the TB profile.Pathway to your Thunderbird
profile chrome folder:

Code: Select all

C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\default\xxxxxxxx.slt\chrome

Then input this code into userContent.css
Adjust color/background-color values that work best with your
eye sight if these dont work after testing Slowbrowser.
This is 10 levels deep, if its too deep, delete from the bottom.
These may work best for color: (text values) yellow,white,orange.
This site will help you adjust the background-color: RGB values
to the code below, click the color you want on the color
wheel in the upper left and it will generate the RGB values
for you okies. http://www.visibone.com/colorlab/
I wrote the code below for your poor eyesight with dark
back ground colors with bright text colors, I hope it works
for you, there are 3 color combos as follows okies.
white text:dark green background, yellow text:dark blue
back ground, orange text:dark brown background.
Keep in mind, hyperlinks/email addys wont show well until
you set a bright color for "Link Text" in Format>Page Colors
and Background>Use Custom Colors>Link Text.

Code: Select all

/* Quote Levels Colors for userContent.css file */
blockquote[type=cite] {
  color: white !important; background-color: RGB(51,102,51) !important;
}
blockquote[type=cite] blockquote {
