Hello. The beauty of tags is that you can tag one email with multiple tags - for instance, an email might be both Important (red) and Personal (green). But when an email is tagged, the email text in the inbox panel turns only one of these colours, which is misleading and frustrating - and the names of the tags are also both this colour, when they should be their own colours. I liked the function in outlook mail whereby an email would stay in black text, and coloured bars would show the tags. Is there a way to adapt to a similar function in Thunderbird - or at least to stop the email turning coloured on tagging? I've looked, and I can't find this in forums. Many thanks (and if it's not obvious, I am a user not at all literate with coding!) Jody.

The color of the text seems to take the color of the tag with the highest number, i.e. Important is 1, Work is 2, Personal is 3 etc. But the colors of multiple tags in the same message are shown in the Header Pane, and the tags are shown in the Tags column if it's enabled.

I think the text color can be set with a userChrome.css like the one explained here, which is mainly concerned with the background color.

The colors can also be changed in options/Display/Tags, Edit...

Thanks- that describes the problem, but not a solution! The system is quite frustrating! :)

Unfortunately, there's no one-click method to achieve the result you want, but the css can make the text color black for all tags while retaining the separate colors in the Header Pane.
