How do I do this in Thunderbird 103.0b6 (or any of the more recent builds)? My downloaded themes default to what looks like Thunderbird Dark. It makes no difference if I change Windows (11) to Light Mode. Someone mentioned unchecking hardware acceleration. The 'old' Options-Advanced, etc., is no longer available. Others have mentioned Config Editor but I can't see an entry there for hardware acceleration. I assume it is. Pointers, anyone? Thanks

Thanks, christ1. Simple, easy when you know how. No themes, particularly, the simple blue one (Tranquil) I prefer, will download with TB 103.0b6. I guess it's an unresolved bug or they're no longer compatible.

It's now called Settings. Then type hardware into the search box.
