Hi,

My reading pane on v115 will only adjust downwards but I would like to adjust it upwards as was possible in previous versions.

Just to confirm what I mean, it will only go down, so making the reading pane smaller (or disapppear) and the thread pane larger.

I would like to make it go the opposite way, upwards to make the thread pane smaller.

Is there some code, css etc that can make it happen correctly?

I really like Thunderbird overall, and I want to replace Outlook with it on my personal laptop, but I really dislike how busy/crowded the UI seems to be. Specifically I'm trying to figure out what the easiest/most effective way to space out the entries in Inbox list would be. Ideally, I would like something to replicate the purpose of the lines, spacing, color coding/different font sizes that all help differentiate entries in the inbox in Outlook. I have looked in the settings, and increased the font size, which helped a bit. But not enough. For reference, here is the same section of emails in Outlook vs. Thunderbird.

Thanks for improving Thunderbird!

I very much like the new card view! However, I am missing the small green unread-button, that I also use to change the status of the mail in the table view. As I use the unread status to sort mails and keep mails up on the list. To quickly change the read status back is part of my way of organising my work. Of course there is a menu and a context menu but all this requires more moves. Can I customise what I can see and interact with on a card?

I had my userCrome.css set to widen line spacing in the message list, among other things. Updating to Þb 115 broke this, and since I can't inspect the css, I don't know how to fix this again.

My current css includes:

/* Message List */

  1. threadTree

treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text {

   font-size: 16pt !important;
   color: black !important

}

/* treechildren::-moz-tree-row {

   margin-top: 0pt !important;
   margin-bottom: 6pt !important;

} */

treecol:not([hideheader="true"]), treecolpicker:not([hideheader="true"]) { -moz-appearance: none !important; padding-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 2px; }

treecol:not([hideheader="true"]):hover, treecolpicker:not([hideheader="true"]):hover { }


I tried relaxed density, but it expands *everything*, not just the message list.

Also, in Firefox, how can I use this site and avoid all the animated headers?

The new version adds unread count indicators to the folders. I prefered the previous approach of simply highlighting the folder. These new counts are overally dominant in the display, thus slightly distracting, as well as having a visual appearance that neither fits with the rest of the app in form nor colour.

How can I remove this counts?

I have Firefox installed on two PCs. I see the option to add "Recommended by Pocket" under Settings/Home, but on the other one I don't. Screen shots of both are attached. I have completely uninstalled, cleaned up all Firefox files and re-installed Firefox multiple times on the PC where I don't see the Pocket option but nothing changes. Also gone into about:config and tried making changes from there. I want the Pocket recommendations to show on the Firefox Home page for both PCs.

My Thunderbird just got updated to v. 115, I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 with KDE/Plasma 5.18. I have two questions, one of which is possibly a bug.

1. The new layout places a lot of buttons in the window title. How do I remove them? I'd like a standard window title like most of the other app (say, Okular) have.

2. My window manager works with focus-follows-mouse, and a window is raised whenever I click on the window borders or title. With Thunderbird 115 that doesn't work anymore: if the Thunderbird window is partly below some other window, and I click on its borders or title, it is *not* raised. How to fix this? Should I report a bug?

Cheers!

Recently migrating from a MS mail client to Thunderbird, I'm used to working exclusively with what T'bird calls Unified Folders, rarely using the All Folders view. Junk and Trash can be deleted in their respective Unified Folders by doing a CTRL+A and the Delete key, but it makes me a bit nervous as this action could inadvertently be applied to the Unified Inbox or Sent folders as well. But a right-click and selection of Empty Folder at least makes one stop and think. I do miss the "Are you sure..." warnings that MS optionally provided; I wonder if there is an add-on that might provide that?

I've searched the knowledge base already, and can't quite find the answer to my question.

I use Thunderbird 115.1.0 on Windows. My eyesight isn't the best, so I've had to set the font larger. But I can't find any way to increase the height of the rows; that is, the space between messages on the list. There used to be a "row height" among the config options; I can't find that now -- or perhaps it is called something else.

I support Thunderbird and have used it for years -- but I'm older now, and can't see as well. I can't continue to use Thunderbird if there's no way to adjust the height of the rows.

I'm familiar enough with CSS to create a userChrome.css file; I just need to know the exact code to include.

Thank you.

It is annoying when a redesign of Thunderbird (Supernova) says it gives maximum customization options, but in fact moves something - the Thunderbird/Application Menu icon (hamburger button) - whose position apparently can't be customized!

How can I move the Application Menu (three-bar, hamburger menu) from the right hand side to the left hand side in Thunderbird 115.2.2?

The following CSS code (inside userChrome.css, inside a newly created chrome folder in my profile) works for my Firefox program, but apparently does not work for Thunderbird 115.

/* Move the APPLICATION MENU, 3-bar button, to the left & change its color */

#PanelUI-button {
 order:-1 !important; 
 color: yellow
 }

Can anyone please tell me what the CSS code is to move the position of the Thunderbird/Application Menu? Many thanks, Rick

With the release of TB115 the line spacing in the message list is much tighter than it was in previous versions. I have an userChrome.css file and it is working just fine for the folder list but I can't get it to work for the message list.

#folderTree { line-height: 18px !important; } - this works fine to increase the line height in the folderTree

None of the following work to increase the line height in the message list

#threadTree > treechildren { line-height: 18px !important; } #threadTree > treechildren::-moz-tree-row { line-height: 18px !important; } #threadTree { line-height: 18px !important; }

Just in case it is interfering, you should know that I have also set layout.css.devPixlesPerPx to 1.75 to make all the fonts bigger.

Any help that you could provide would be much appreciated before my eyes go cross-eyed from reading the very tightly spaced message list.
