thunderbird - tag color conflict

Post by KIA »

So I have a color conflict. By default if you select a message background is blue and text is white.

tags are great but sometimes if you have a bunch of color tags it makes the index confusing. So I create a tag with just black text and the only want to distinguish it by the tag column.

Unfortunately, if this criteria matches, it results in a black row block.

Name1 (tag is defined):
black color

criteria
-If unread
-tag as Name1

- when you highlight the message in the inbox
- since the tag is black, the text is black
- the highlight is also black
result:
- the entire line is black and unreadable.

Question?
-is there a way to use the default highlight rather than the tag highlight? To me it kinda a makes more sense to have a highlight color global than follow the tag highlight color. especially if you have the tag column showing. One highlight to rule them all :)

This was one possibility but I don't want to make the text any other color than black (grey just makes it harder to read).

Observations:
- if you change the tag color to lighter when the message is read it shows lighter against the default white background.

Moved from Thunderbird Builds to Thunderbird Support as this question doesn't seem to be specific to a beta or daily build.
