enlarge mail folder's square

[Miles]

Reference is to the little square with the plus or minus symbol. I find
this a bit too small to readily hit with the mouse in order to open or
close a folder and wonder if anyone knows of a statement that can be
added to the .css that would enlarge it somewhat -- or perhaps a
registry change?

I find double clicking on the folder name easier, to expand or collapse
a folder.

Now why didn't I think of that!! Of course it's easier; and since I
leave all folders open in mail and RSS, it's only newsgroups where I've
been aiming for that dinky square icon.

you may also look for a theme to suit that or
use / and * to colapse expand or
for the css (userChrome or the Stylish extension) this is where referred
to +- buttons

/*as found in classic\skin\classic\global\tree.css
+..global\skin\tree\(images here)*/
/* ::::: twisty ::::: */

treechildren::-moz-tree-twisty {
padding-right: 2px;
width: 10px; /* The image's width is 9 pixels */
list-style-image: url("chrome://global/skin/tree/twisty-clsd.png");
}

treechildren::-moz-tree-twisty(open) {
width: 10px; /* The image's width is 9 pixels */
list-style-image: url("chrome://global/skin/tree/twisty-open.png");
}

treechildren::-moz-tree-indentation {
width: 16px;
}

so you may play with width, height and even the +-icons as .png
but do understand that you don't actually hit only on the +-button but
also around it, so you may just say:

treechildren::-moz-tree-twisty {width: 50px !important;}
treechildren::-moz-tree-twisty(open) {width: 50px !important;}

witch will enlarge the space next to +- and move folders to the right..
that space being clickable
hmm, kinda junk.. it has to go along with all tree design..

One thing I missed is that when in NG's and a group is opened, the next
move is to open a thread (situated in the right upper pane). This
involves clicking on that small square icon, or is there a keyboard
shortcut for opening one thread -- not all threads as accomplished with
shift/*? If not, guess icon change/enlargement is still needed perhaps
as ovidiu describes.

if you selected the OP (top of the thread) can use <- , -> arrows to
expand/collapse that one and with the same ca navigate through a branch
of a thread, compared to up/down witch will just move on regardless of
.. Just experiment with arrows
(try also to select 'all thread' by click on the little (again) thread
icon aside and the sortcuts for marking etc)

Great, thank you, the right arrow opens an individual thread and from
there it can be navigated up or down with right or left arrows (or up
and down arrows), thence into the next thread as necessary, Curious as
to why thread opening isn't included in the list of keyboard shortcuts,
or is that a given in Windows that I didn't know about?

it is a given for folders navigation in win
