Thunderbird mark line of current message
I need a way to mark the line of the message I am reading. When I click down to the message and then look at the list of messages there is no clear way to see which message I am on. The tech must be there because when I chose a dark them the current message is marked black and all the others are pale. But everything else is so pale it is useless! I just want that bit of code to put in my css!

Then use the developer toolbox (ctrl+Shift+I) to locate the appropriate element and the code already being used. Then modify the color in your CSS.
Interestingly my windows version, both 102 and 116 show the selected message in the list in a strong blue color, because that is my selection in the windows colors. This elements value is picked up from the GUI setting of the operating system. So something must be set to that insipid color you do not like.
I find on checking my windows setting for highlight colors is set to automatic. On nix that is most unlikely, especially if you are looking for CSS to make it yours.

Got it. Thanks. Changing the theme to a standard Mint one solved my problem. I can do css but in this case a bit of a sledge to crack a nut!
But now you got me interested Matt! I am in the developer toolkit but there is of course a blizzard of detail. How do I track down a specific element such as the one I am looking for, highlight active message with focus and highlight active message without focus? Wishing for an interface like firefox where you can click on an element and bring up the inspector.
