Is there a option to replace the blank color of TB general interface?
I see a option to change the background color of messages.
All blank is severe to the eyes. I want gray. Or recomend me a theme.

This one looks almost like what you want:

If that still has too much white, perhaps blue?

If what you're looking for is a way to change the colors in the
Folder Pane (list of accounts, folders, newsgroups, etc.) Thread Pane
(list of messages) and/or header panel, it can be done using the
userChrome.css file. I've taken a screenshot of what my TB looks like
and posted it online. If you want to look at it and see if those are
the areas you're interested in, it's at
<http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=m2yz35zmynt&thumb=6>.
If that's the sort of thing you want, post back here, and I'll give
you instructions on how to do it (with your choice of colors, not mine).

I also use dark background color and I also use different tag colors.
Like in your case, when I selected a message, the white color of the
message title etc. was not easily readable in the light-colored
highlight, like the "Color background TB" is not in your case. So I added:

/* Text of selected in focus bright color tags */
treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(lc-FFFF00, selected, focus),
treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(lc-CC66CC, selected, focus),
treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(lc-33FFFF, selected, focus),
treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(lc-33FF33, selected, focus),
treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(lc-FF9900, selected, focus),
treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(lc-FF99FF, selected, focus) {
color: black !important;
}

so when the selected message is of these 6 colors, when selected in the
message list its color turns black. You may want to consider doing
something similar, though I do not know how you do it only for untagged
messages. If you use:

treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(selected, focus) {
color: black !important;
}

it will influence all messages.
