Thunderbird UserChrome.css Modifications

[DarrellG]

With the latest version of Thunderbird, it appears the userChrome
settings or values have changed specifically with regard to the
notification popup. As an example, the icon on the left no longer
displays the one I set for it.

alertImage {
list-style-image: url('pics/NewMessage-32-b.png') !important;
background-color: #080808 !important;
margin: auto;
padding: 10px;
}

If anybody has the new settings for this and the other objects, I'd
appreciate the information.

What 'other' objects?
My user chrome tweaks almost every icon I can see and it transposed from v68 to v78 fine.

Also where does this alertimage show?

The only issue I have is the line spacing in the folder-tree rows. In 78 I can't get my line to work.
I have to see the margin to shrink up the spacing.

#folderTree treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text { font-size: 18pt !important; }
#folderTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row { height: 24px !important; margin-bottom: -2px !important; }

The top line works great but the 2nd line is supposed to adjust the line height to go with the font, larger font, larger height. But the
only way to scrunch them up is the margin-bottom:

The Thunderbird logo is in the new mail notification on Windows.

You can see it on Linux if you go to the Config Editor and toggle
"mail.biff.use_system_alert" to false.

Thanks so much. I've always hated the Linux notification, even though it goes into the notification try for 30 minutes so I can pull it up
after I'm done reading the paper. But the native TB notification is cleaner.

[WaltS48]

Yes, but it blocks my PiP when trying to watch a video or other areas of
a web page when I'm in a forum, so I use the native Linux notification,
which seems to be intermittent on my system.

Enabled the TB notification just to make sure the icon was still there
in my 78.6.0. It was, the dialog had no text, but the icon was there. 🥳
