I have visual issues and cannot read thin text. I am trying to set up a Windows machine where it defaults to thin text. Yes, both Windows and Thunderbird allow users to increase font size and scaling, but I don't have enough screen size. It's much more helpful to increase font weight, and only somewhat increase some font sizes.

I already have /* Global UI font */

• { font-family: Andika !important; }
• { font-size: 12pt !important; }
• {font-weight: bolder !important;}

Which makes the message list good and bold, and

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

color: red !important; }

Which distinguishes unread messages.

But for whatever reason, the fix doesn't extend to the messages or the settings page.

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.

In Windows 11, Thunderbird 140, how do I increase the font size in new events box?

- I have tried to make the changes in Windows 11 settings (text size) and this has not helped. - I never had this problem in the past when using Windows 10.

I have "Googled" this problem and had no results.

Kind regards: Gary Shaw

I am unable to add new contacts in my contact list. It definitely is creating a problem. Why will it not let me add them, please and how do I fix the issue? I did not have this problem until I got a new computer and using Windows 11.

Trying to get a formal account with Thunderbird, and fully willing to pay for it. I have been locked out of using Thunderbird because I have never had a password for Thunderbird, starting from when it was Netscape. My only access to signing in and creating a formal Thunderbird account is a small laptop. Its screen is too small to show the entire form, so I cannot complete the captcha picture part -- can see three of probably four boxes (select all the traffic lights), and cannot see the 'Enter' or whatever is next.

Need help getting into my emails from my cell phone. This app is no help at all. Every time I go in there it just says oh have an account sign in and then it says I don't know my own email and my own password. I can't get it reset because you want to send something to my home phone and I'm not there. I'm in Owen sound and it wants to send something to my email which I can't get asked access to. No wonder nobody wants to use this app. Please fix this so I can continue using this email when I'm away and at home. It's my main email. Everything goes here until I can change it My cell number is <redacted>. You cannot email me unless you want to email me at <redacted>@gmail.com

You used to be able to set Contrast Control to not override other websites now you can't. What moron made this stupid ass decision that just degrades the quality of a once good browser?

I just installed Thunderbird on Windows 11 and find that the text used for the Message List and Folder List is too small for me. But changing the font settings does not appear to impact the text size for these two areas, even after restarting.

Am I stuck? Or is there a way to increase the font size of folder lists and message lists?
