Various add-on but they have not changed since before the problem occurred.

Not sure what you mean asking 'What chrome?'

Are you speaking of a particular theme you had installed but is now not
selected? Can you be a little more specific about "line shading"? Thanks

I 'personalised' my desktop in Windows 7 but didn't like it so reverted
to 'Windows Classic' which is what I had before.

The line shading in Thunderbird is the light shading of alternate lines
in the list of emails window that allows easier reading across the screen.

Yabbut different versions of Tb interact differently with the add-ons.
Sometimes when you adapt one recipe to another and then another, you
should leave out one of the seasonings in the 3rd version that worked OK
in the other two recipe mods before.

Some people mod their chrome with or without an add-on

http://eriwen.com/css/tweaking-thunderbirds-chrome/ Personalize your
Thunderbird by changing it’s chrome

There are many ways to personalize/modify Tbird and have the mods not
work the same way in another version.

My Tb 9 & 10 both/each have alternate line shading in the thread pane. I
have no add-ons or chrome mods.

I realize that my saying that I don't have the problem doesn't seem
helpful, but so far all I know is that you have various add-ons and I don't.

I only see alternate line shading when I enable the Default theme. I use
the Nuvola 1.12 theme, and there is no alternate line shading that I can
see.

OK, I restarted TB with Add-ons disabled and still have the problem.

[Michael]

Sorry to be dense but which 'Default Theme' are you referring to?

[WLS]

The one that is Default with a new Thunderbird installation, new
profile, no add-ons.

It appears I am using the Default Theme.

I thought Alfred had done away with the stripes long ago. He had with
the Littlefox theme, and I kept putting them back because I liked them.

Perhaps adding this to your userChrome.css will help:

/*zebra striping somewhere*/

treechildren::-moz-tree-row(odd){background:aquamarine;color:black}
treechildren::-moz-tree-row(selected),
treechildren::-moz-tree-row(odd, selected){
background-color: -moz-Dialog; color: -moz-DialogText;}
treechildren::-moz-tree-row(selected, focus),
treechildren::-moz-tree-row(odd, selected, focus){
background-color: Highlight; color: HighlightText}

The actual syntax for a comment is /* comment */. TB turns the *s into
bold markers. Just wanted to be clear.
