Can you change the colour of the star or message of a starred message?
Hi I've recently started using Thunderbird & have made several customisations & created a userChrome.css file. I find the yellow star on a starred message a bit to easy to miss. Is there a way to either make the yellow star another colour or to make the starred message in the message list another colour (like Outlook does)? The only info I have found so far makes all stars change colour - starred on unstarred. That defeats my objective. Thanks, Tony

Help/Troubleshooting Info, Profile Folder, Open Directory (Win: Folder), close TB, create a new folder named chrome, create a new document in chrome with a text editor, name it userChrome.css, Save as type: All files *.*, copy in the above code, change the colours as desired. Double-click toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in Settings/General/Config. editor, restart TB.

Many thanks, that worked a treat using:
- |*:root {
--thread-pane-flag-fill: red !important; --thread-pane-flag-stroke: red !important;
}
Gave me just what I was looking for.
To set the card background colour for starred messages:
tr[is="thread-card"][data-properties~="flagged"] .card-container{
background-color: pink !important;
}
Perfect! many thanks!!
Thanks, is there a way to make the resize the star, or move it up ? I've squeezed my lines down, but the stars are now too low down, and a bit out of sync, so need shrinking and/or moving up ! Cheers Nigel

Excellent, thank you. The other issue I have, possibly a bug, is that having changed the size/font of the thread line in the list, when I click on a msg further down the list, it seem to miscalculate, and the selected one then scrolls (usually up), with even smaller fonts/spacing the newly selected item scrolls way up out of view ! Cheers Nigel

Since this is a separate issue, it's better to post it as a new topic. As a first step, run in safe/troubleshoot mode and see if the problem remains.
