How to transfer account colors to other installs
Version 153 brought account colors to the desktop app.
Is there any smoother way to transfer just these settings, no more, no less, to other machines, other than copying the whole profile? I'm using TB on 3 different pc's, of which one has a special profile.
Right now I made screenshots of all 7 accounts + color. I can do it by hand but that's rather cumbersome.

I'm trying to find out where they've hidden everything. I agree, Screenshots of the colour pop up window would be useful because it contains the rgb colour information.
The developers have currently only displayed that colour in 'Account Settings', 'Folder Pane', in Unified Folders - eg: expand Unified Inbox to thin strips to left of account and also in 'Cards View' so easy to see which account by colour. But for some unknown reason they have not at time of typing this, added the option to the 'Table View' which is inconvenient because you cannot link the colour in Folder Pane to anything in Table View.
If I find out anything I'll post info.
Remarks : I don't have thunderbird 153 so I can not confirm.
According to AI , it would be in prefs.js file like follow :
user_pref("mail.identity.identityX.color", "#HEXCODE");
And here are a 3 lines example for 1 account : user_pref("mail.account.account2.identities", "identity2"); user_pref("mail.identity.identity2.useremail", "yourname@domain.com"); user_pref("mail.identity.identity2.color", "#4a90e2");
