Hi there I have just installed Thunderbird 91.1.1 (64-bit) Mac. Always used to use Thunderbird, but on my MacBook Pro the font in the pane that displays all the new emails is so small I find I cant see them properly. Is there a way of making the font bigger so that I can see list of emails in the inbox clearer? I have attached a screenshot.

pixel doubling mac monitors and video drivers. Try using 2 then, or 2.1 just make the increments small as you will not like the result if you choose too large a number.

Probably something like I see trying to view your absolutely huge images on a 23inch monitor and I see about a half of it.

Open Config. editor from Preferences/General/Indexing, change the preference layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.0 or 1.25 or 1.5.... The effect is shown immediately while the editor is open.

Hi there thanks for the reply, I followed your instructions to the letter but alas putting in the value of 1.5 only made the font smaller. See attached screenshots.

I am Running BigSur. 11.6 Regards Chris
