Hi everyone, I'm trying to customize the message list appearance in Thunderbird 140.9.1 ESR (64-bit) using userChrome.css.

Goal: I want to change the background color of the entire row for tagged messages (e.g., 'Important'). The color should persist even when the message is NOT selected (when I click on another email).

The Issue: Currently, any background color I apply via CSS only shows up when the message is selected. As soon as I select a different email, the background of the tagged row reverts to white, even though the text color remains correct.

What I've tested so far:

toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets is set to true.

The userChrome.css file is being loaded (a global test like * { background-color: blue !important; } works perfectly).

I've tried multiple selectors: tr.tag-important, tr[data-properties~="tag-important"], and tr[is="thread-row"], targeting both tr and td.

It seems like in version 140 ESR, there's a hardcoded background-color on table cells (td) or a CSS variable that overrides the row background when the focus is lost. Does anyone know the specific selectors or CSS variables needed for this version to make the background color stick?"

Thanks everybody. Maurizio

A very anoying popup appear asking if If I want to start Firefox when Windows start.

How can I click: Never ask again. Why in the world would anyone ever want this enabled.

eigentlich = Alles im Betreff gesagt - nach Absenden steht die Anzeige im "gesendet-Ordner" doppelt. Empfänger berichteten mir, daß sie mein email nur ein Mal erhielten ...was auch korrekt ist - aber die Anzeige aller gesandeten emails in meinem Thunderbird-System erscheint doppelt. Wie - wo kann ich das abstellen? gern Ihre Hilfe mein Laptop hat Win.11

On one of my emailladdresses the emails I recieve can be placed with other emailsfrom the same person and do not show as seperate emails. All I want is for emails to be stored by arrival date and time. As an individual email. Not lost in some ancient thread.

Hello,

after yahoo messed up their email beyond usability I am looking for an email client.

I like Thunderbird with it's neat and clean user interface. But even with 0 subject lines ans compact settings I only see 8 emails per screen on my 10" tablet.

Is there another setting that I have missed which would give me at least 20 emails per screen?

Also search is incredibly slow (one result every 1-3 seconds). Is that only because I just recently installed it?

Kind regards,

- Linux ver 140.7.1esr (64 bit) my folders are now out of alphabetic order among other things Trash us now under 'T' instead of grouped near the sent folder and my Computer folder has a mind of it's own. It's not under C even after I changed the name. It is just stuck. Wha? tnx

Die Ansicht hat sich verändert. Die Spalte links mit Adressbuch usw. ist weg.

Die Obere Leiste mit verschiedenen Möglichkeinten z.B. Antworten ist weg. Habe natürlich versucht zu finden welchen Einstellung ich ev. verändert habe aber ohne Erfolg. Neu installieren?

I have tried to set up a table in Thunderbird but the column width is much too big.

How can I reduce the column width, please?

Thank you,
