Thunderbird Support Forum

Hello,

The new UI has this massive customizable toolbar at the top of the screen, it wastes a lot of space and doesn't look good compared to the old UI, you can fully customize it even leaving it blank but that does not remove it entirely and it looks off with just a blank nothing up there, where is the option to completely remove this new toolbar?

Regards,

Thunderbird 115 with Fluxbox on Linux: https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2023-07-17-06-46-25-8664e0.png

How to get rid of this almost-empty useless stripe above menu bar?

I tried "Customize..." but looks like it doesn't allow to customize anymore, toolbar buttons editing only.

Thunderbird 115 has a "Unified Toolbar" (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/getting-started-thunderbird-main-window-supernova#w_2-unified-toolbar) above the tab bar (and above the menu if you show it). I don't want it. How do I remove it? I tried Customize to remove everything from it, but it still contains a "Spaces menu" that I don't want and can't remove in Customize, and a hamburger menu that I don't want because I am ok with the regular old menu, but that I also can't remove in Customize.

Just was updated to Thunderbird Supernova. Now when I perform a search with the unified toolbar I get a list of results, but anytime I select one of the results a new tab is open with a Blank message.

I've re-indexed my emails as per : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/rebuilding-global-database but that hasn't helped.

Anyone else having this problem and found a solution? The only work around I have so far is to use the Ctrl-Shift-F which works, but is a little slower.

Thanks, Robert

I currently use:

  <profile>\chrome\userChrome.css 

to make various buttons stand out for some elderly users that I support. For example:

1. button-archive:hover {

  border: 2px dashed black !important;

}

1. button-archive,
2. hdrArchiveButton {

  background-image: none !important;
  background-color: #66ff66 !important; 

}

I can't figure out how to do this with Supernova (115+). Thanks.
