How to set message background color besides white? I'm having issue with the white background visually. I'm a Vet and legally blind in my right eye. Solid white backgrounds gives me very bad headaches. So, I would like to change this. Please see the attached image. The white area is what I'm talking about. system: windows 11 23h2 dark theme enabled. thunderbird 128

Thanks in advances, -Scot

Since you use the dark theme, the fix is easy. Just install the addon, Dark Reader, and it changes background to black and text to white,, for both reading and writing. There may be a few incoming HTML messages that insist on their colors, but I've used Dark Reader for yeas and like it a lot. You can se this at settings>general and scroll down to Fonts&colors and click the colors button, You can there set the background color. And be sure to NOT tick the 'use systems colors' box. Like you, I don't like white and the setting is simple and works for both reading mail and in composing mail. We vets gotta' stick together. Thank you for your service.

Thanks David for letting me know about this add-on.. I installed it and it works on about 95% of the emails. But that is better than zero.


-Scot p.s. thanks you for your services as well.
