I found multiple tutorials to change the font color, and the back-background color, but not the actual primary background area in my screenshot. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1441429#question-reply This one changes the Font color: color: #2492d1 !important;

This changed the far back background color, not primary background: background-color: #2492d1 !important;

Solved! The Code for the File (using the linked tutorial) is this to change background color:

@import url("chrome://messenger/content/unifiedtoolbar/unifiedToolbarWebextensions.css");


/* Set colour of unread in thread pane/message list */

  1. threadTree tbody [data-properties~="unread"] {

.tree-table,

.card-container {

background-color: #012a60 !important; 

}
