Change hyperlink default colour

Hi,

I have just started using Thunderbird and I'm trying to change the default colour for a hyperlink.

I have tried about:config -> browser.anchor_color and browser.active_color but neither has worked.

I also tried using a user.js file but that didn't work either.

I would have thought this would be a fairly basic thing but it seems to be impossible.

Did you try Settings/General/Lang. & Appearance/Fonts & Colours, Colours..., Link Colours?

Hi, thanks for the reply,

I have found Settings -> General -> Language & Appearance and I have unchecked "Always underline links" and changed the font size and colour but none of this has made a difference

I can't find Fonts & Colour -> Colours -> Link Colours

Thanks

You appear to be using TB 139, which lacks the Colours setting in TB 128 (see picture). But you should be able to set the colour of visited links with browser.visited_color or browser.visited_color.dark in Config. editor. For unvisited links, try reader.custom_colors.unvisited-links.
