Is there a way to tag messages with bold text along with the color
change? Changing colors makes some of the tags hard to read. Or, how
can the font be changed for the messages listed in the message window?

Thanks,
GeoK

What you want can be done with custom styling added to a userChrome.css
file. It has been a very long time since I have seen any one post some
style code to do this. Tagging was introduced in an early beta of Tb
2.0. The essence is to find out what the selector is for tags so new
style rules can be written to modify the defaults if an theme.

The possibilities include font size, bold, italic,family, and color
changes as well as background color. A clarification of terminology. The
pane that lists message subject, sender, etc. is the Thread Pane. The
Message Pane is where We view the content of a message. This will be
important when writing style rules so the code effects the proper panes
content.

Where can I find the what the selector for the tags are?

you can try this in 2 ways for user.. css: using tag name or color.

1. selecting by COLOR of the tag

/* tag select by color */
/* whole row background color */
treechildren::-moz-tree-cell(lc-FFFF33) { background-color: #FFff33
!important; }
treechildren::-moz-tree-cell(lc-FFFF33, selected) { background-color:
#DDDD00 !important; }
/* text color */
treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(lc-FFFF33) { color: #331100 !important; }
treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(lc-FFFF33, selected) { color: #555555
!important; }

this selects the tag with the specific color "FFFF33" and changes text
and background colors, be it for the whole row or only for the text.
Course, other css props to be used...

2.selecting by NAME of the tag

/* tag select by name */
treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(kw-xnote) {color: #332211 !important;
font-weight:bold !important; }
treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(kw-xnote, selected) { color: #555555
!important; }

this selects the tag with the specific name "xnote" and changes text and
background colors etc, and can use as above (1.) etc..

For you to know what is the color/name in a specific tag that (too light
to read), can use mail tweak extension
http://journal.mozdev.org/mailtweak.html
that in latest version has a css selector function that has to be
checked in the respective options an will show (in tools) that function.
With that can directly select a msg with that tag (too light..) and see
the lc-FFxxyy whatever color there. Or kw-name, but that you know already..

note:
-this goes for each tag or each color 1 by 1, or can be used for several
if add more than one selector for things like bold etc
-default tags 1 to 5 (important, work ...) are named $label1 ... $label5
due to a legacy or something. Haven't tried to see if del and create a
new one changes that..
