Options missing from Thunderbird Menus

more options

I converted my OS drive from MBR to GBT last night in preparation for Win 11 and it broke my Windows install. (It set my 2TB M.2 at 512mb, so be careful with your command line parameters when converting). Had to flush and start clean, and upon re-installing Thunderbird, the Options option is missing from all Thunderbird menus. Yes I have the menu bar enabled and Options isn't showing under tools there, nor is it showing either solo or under tools in the Thunderbird menu (3 hash marks right corner), or under preferences. I'm at a loss so if anybody has suggestions, I'll take them.

Thunderbird 91.1.2 64bit

Then you click on the Colors button and it takes you here.

So I guess it is still an option. I did not know, I had to look in preferences and find the settings.

Options is renamed preferences in V91. That is all.

Thank you, and maybe you can help with this then. I dug through preferences both before and after your post, and I can't find the option for changing the background color. Am I missing it, or is it no longer an option? I found font colors, but not background colors. That's what I was looking for that started the whole thing.

Palm face. I literally looked at that option but thought it was text color only. Doh! Thanks man!
