Re: OT: Kvetch about Thunderbird
Definitely NOT the "dark" theme. The "light" theme looks the same as the "system" theme. The column headers for "Subject", "Correspondents" ... "Date" are still the same color as the threads. I want to color the column headers slightly so that they will stand out separate from the threads and I won't accidentally click on one because I can't see where the threads begin. Even something like this would be better than what Thunderbird has now: https://addons.thunderbird.net/user-media/previews/full/68/68083.png?modified=1530208372 On 1/31/2022 11:21 AM, Paul Sorenson wrote: John: I have the latest T-Bird version and do not have that problem.

Re: OT: Kvetch about Thunderbird
actually - for email I prefer my original setup that I did using my system colors... I have a light gray for the from/to/toolbar etd area, and a slightly darker gray for messages I wish I could get dark theme for my ebay pages.. I have white on black in facebook now and it makes all the difference.. ann On 1/31/2022 3:57 PM, Paul Sorenson wrote: Ann - My message body is black text w/white background.
