"Personalize your Thunderbird by changing it is chrome" sounds rather

"Personalize your Thunderbird by changing it is chrome" sounds rather
funny, doesn't it? That is the way to test; pronounce it out loud. The

"its", and also "it's" are indications of possession.
"it's" is now considered obsolete or nonstandard.
"its" is now common usage, and to distinguish from contraction
for "it is" and "it has".

No, "it's" is a contraction of "it is" and is not possessive.

who don't know the correct usage of "its" and "it's."

no questions about that; it's simple when you look at its rules.

Oh, and to give you a real answer - edit userChrome.css and add this as a starting point:
> Is there a way of changing Thunderbird so that unread messages are
> shown in a different color, rather than being shown in bold?
treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(unread) {
font-weight: normal;
color: #fff !important;
background-color: rgb(239,197,202);
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(239,197,202,1) 0%,
rgba(210,75,90,1) 31%, rgba(186,39,55,1) 39%, rgba(241,142,153,1) 100%);
}
or minimally instead of the 4 rules, just use
color: #fff !important;
that'll do.
