The text size of all my menus is so small I have to squint to read them. Surely there is a way to make that text larger?

I found a post where it said to go into General and then way down to the bottom and click on that Config box. I did that but what was supposed to be there as stated in that post was not there so I didn't go any further with that.

I've got to do something to make it larger. Please help if you can.

  1. Open the menu Fx57Menu
  2. Change the font size.

I did that a dozen times yesterday. There is no font size listed on mine.

We do assume folks are using a relatively recent version of Thunderbird, like released in the last 2 years. What version are you using?

The current release can be downloaded at Thunderbird.net

Now, can I change the font itself to something bolder? Personally, I like Comic Sans.

The fonts can be set with css:

I thank you for that link, but I don't understand totally. I notice the font in all those formulas is Times. Is that just an example or what?

Yes, Times is an example. To make the global font Comic Sans, you would use this code:

/* global Comic Sans font */
* {    font-size: 12pt !important;
  	font-family: Comic Sans, sans-serif !important;
}

Choose the desired font size in pt or px. The other examples show how to change the font for specific elements such as the Menu Bar, message list etc.
