Hi This morning I was blessed with update 115 for Thunderbird. Not impressed. I have a couple of issues I hope you can help with.

1. The box that lists incoming messages is way too long, taking up over half the screen. I moved it up as small as it will let me. 2. The second question is the box in between inbox and the message (middle pane) is also way too large. Ideally, I would only like it to display the top line. Remove the to and subject line The attached screen shot hopefully will help you see the issue. Please note that on the bottom of the shot is probably 3/4 way down my screen with very little room to read the message. Perhaps 3 or 4 lines at best.

Hi,

My reading pane on v115 will only adjust downwards but I would like to adjust it upwards as was possible in previous versions.

Just to confirm what I mean, it will only go down, so making the reading pane smaller (or disapppear) and the thread pane larger.

I would like to make it go the opposite way, upwards to make the thread pane smaller.

Is there some code, css etc that can make it happen correctly?

I'm so tired of, frustrated with, and annoyed by the reduced and very cramped text viewing area display in the new Thunderbird version as of July 223!! This is because the minimum line item display of emails is now three times the previous minimum of only 3 email lines!! And there appears to be no way to reduce that minimum!!

I have a userChrome.css to change the color of unread messages in the "list of messages" pane to orange:

/* Messagepane text */ treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(new) {

       color: #34ebdc !important;
       font-weight: normal;

} treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(unread) {

       color: #34c6eb !important;
       font-weight: normal !important;

}

This worked fine in TB 102 and prior. When I upgraded to TB 115 this no longer has any effect. I'm not sure if the userChrome.css is being ignored or if the styling elements in userChrome.css have changed.

I'm on Windows 11 and userChrome.css is located in 2 places: C:\Users\$username\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\$profile.default\chrome\userChrome.css C:\Users\$username\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\$profile.default\chrome\userChrome.css

In Thunderbird 115 (Supernova) is there a way to configure the Message list view so that it has grid lines, or "zebra striping"? I find it easier visually to look at.

Thanks!

If you want your 'Message List' to use alternative colour stripes often refered to as zebra style then I have put together some code and instructions on how to create the effect.

Obviously you may need to modify the actual colours used. The following works on a Light theme. The striping is white and pale grey. On hover the text is black on a pale blue background. On select the text is white on a light blue background, but strong enough to show white text clearly.

With "Unread Messages" filter and "Order By -> Group By Thread" both enabled, the threaded message view does not display the most recent message in Inbox. When a new reply arrives to the already displayed thread, it is hidden underneath the packed mail thread in message list and the user is unaware of having a more recent reply already available there. After clicking another mail thread and then back again, the most recent reply is still not shown in the message preview sub-window.

I am using the new default "card" view with Thunderbird 115.

I want the unread messages in the list of messages pane to be "orange". I had the following in userChrome.css which worked prior to TB 115:

/* Messagepane text */ treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(new) {

      color: #34ebdc !important;
      font-weight: normal;

} treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(unread) {

      color: #34c6eb !important;
      font-weight: normal !important;

}

When I upgraded to TB 115 this no longer has any effect. How do I do this in TB 115+?

Thanks. mike

After upgrading to 115.0, the mailbox display has an all-white background. This is not nearly as easy to read is in version 112, which has alternating lines of white & grey for the background.

How can I customize 115 to have alternating colours for the background of each summary line?

Just updated OS to Ventura. Downloaded T-bird 115.0. All good. Using System Dark mode.

However, I find the black BG too harsh in the inbox window. NOT the message window in the bottom half; the list of emails in the highlighted folder.

I looked everywhere and can't kind a way to change that BG colour. I want to reduce the contrast a little to make it easier to read. Definitely don't want to go back to Light mode: everything is too white.

Thoughts?

Thanks Paul

Something changed in my Thunderbird since yesterday, although it doesn't say there was an update.

Message list is now tiny, and also in a really irritating font. I found a way to increase size so I can actually read it (View->Font size) but I can't find any way to change the font. The text also looks really crowded, as though the lines didn't adjust properly for the increased size of the font.

Does anyone know what happened? The only thing that I'm aware of was that there was a plea for money from Mozilla this am, but my update log in settings shows no update this week.

Separately, my "get mail" button is gone. Now the only way to update the mail I can find is to close the program and reopen it. Ideas?
