Hello,

I want to change some settings like colors and fonts of my thunderbird
theme. I read a little bit about the userChrome.css. Can I find
somewhere a complete list of all possible changes ?

Thank you

Alex

/* Set Colors In Thread Pane */

#threadTree > treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(unread, selected) {
font-weight: bold; color: white !important; }
#threadTree > treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(read, selected) {
font-weight: bold !important; color: yellow !important; }

The first line is just a comment, to help you remember what the
entries are for when you read the file at some later time. Remove the
"font-weight: bold !important;" part if you don't want the items bold,
and change the colors as desired.

Thunderbird doesn't have a preview function.

What do you consider the difference between 2 and 3?

Hello Ken,

thank you for your help and answere. Maybe my english is not good enough
to discribe what I mean at 2 and 3. 2 is the window under the email list
in TB-Mainpage. The part where you can see the stlected email directly.
3 is when you open the email by doubleclick. In both I want subject date
time and whats possible in header to change color of font.

Thank you

That's called the Message Pane.

That's called the Message Window. I thought that was probably
what you meant, but because I wasn't sure I asked.

In my experience, changes to either apply to both, so only one
userChrome.css entry, or set of entries, is required.

In my TB 17.0.5

#expandedHeaderView,
#collapsedHeaderView {
color: yellow !important; }

sets the text (font) color of the date/time, although that's not what
it did (or what I used it for) when I first used it in TB 1.5.

For the other headers, I can change the background color but I
don't know how to change the text (font) color. I wish I could be
more help. :-(
