Email Browser: Font Size in Message and Folder Lists

more options

I need to increase the font size of the message and folder lists in TB 78.11.0 for Windows. I have tried the following, to no avail:

  • Changing Settings > General > Language and Appearance > Fonts and Colors > Size.
  • Adjusting layout.css.devPixelsPerPx.
  • Creating the chrome/userChrome.css file.
  • Zooming.

Considering how many people have this same request and how elementary a configuration it is, it's a disgrace that this configuration is this complicated in the first place, if it actually works, especially in a product that has gone through this many versions.

Chosen solution

Try this css code:

/* Folder pane font */
#folderTree  {
font-size: 14px !important; } 

/* Threads pane font */
#threadTree {
font-size: 14px !important; }

Help/Troubleshooting, Profile Folder, Open Folder, close TB, create a new folder named chrome, create a new document in chrome with a text editor, name it userChrome.css, Save as type: All files *.*, copy in the above code, change the numbers as desired. Double-click toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in Options/General/Config. editor, restart TB.

Thanks. It would have helped to have this in some official documentation. Also very odd that it did not come up in reasonable searches of the Internet or this forum.
