Hello Development team, I am a long-time user of the Thunderbird e-mail client, having used it since it was Netscape Communicator. I have suffered from many upgrades that did not work well with my style of communication. However, the disappointing upgrade events using TB have been well overridden by the successful use of the overall e-mail client. Today’s topic is the latest upgrade, 140.0.1esr. The message page in dark mode shows darker links and text than it did using the add-on (Dark Mode). I have lost the ability to control text colors and the link status colors. I do not want to wander into the Config Editor to try and correct the linking status with a custom CSS entry. I have discovered the switch on the message panel to disable the “Dark Message Board”. I don’t like this method. I prefer a dark background and the ability to customize the message and link status colors while reading my messages.
