customize reading pane tools in v 150

sfhowes replied

Now in v 150, I can no longer modify the tools in the reading pane. Used to be able to but it seems to have disappeared. Of course layout is modifiable but spacing out the tools (so that I don't hit the wrong button in error) or turning some off is no longer an option. The More|Customize does not do much for what I want. Thoughts?

What do you mean by "reading pane"? Is it the "message pane" with the contents of an email or the message header pane with its little toolbar? Do you - or did you - use the add-on "Message Header Toolbar Customize"? In the case that you have updated to Thunderbird v150.0 this add-on is not yet compatible with the actual TB release version.

Yes, thank you....I realized that the Message Header Toolbar Customize had not kept pace with new releases. And I had used reading pane rather than message pane because some refer to the space that way, not standard! Thanks....I will be patient!
