I view Thunderbird meswsages on a black background with white text,
works well for my vision problems, however T-bird displays quoted
text,
e.g. joe@xxxxxxx, in dark blue which I can't read unless highlighted
using a hand magnifier! Does anyone know how to change that color? I
would be happy if everything was displayed in bold white text, the
colors are without benefit "to me anyway."
open this mozilla site, page;
http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries
[all following is using firefox browser]
make note of 1st paragraph then press <ctrl+f>, enter;
Find: _color
to start from "Browser", pressing <F3> to advance to each of settings;
browser.active_color
browser.anchor_color
browser.display.background_color
browser.visited_color
and making note of settings;
after above, enter;
Find: browser.underline_anchors
with understanding of each "Preference Name", in thunderbird, from
menu bar;
Edit > Preferences > Advanced > General > Config Editor > make
promise
in about:config window;
Find: _color
make appropriate changes, then:
Find: browser.underline_anchors
note: white = #FFFFFF, black = #000000
make appropriate changes. close about:config and preferences windows.
done.
check to see if i know "wth" i am talking about.
any questions, problems, i missed something, ask.
hth.
Not a bit! What to do with "browser.underline_anchors ?"
"_color" copy/pasted into the about:config bar produces a blank.
I have Firefox 23.0.1 and Thunderbird 17.0.8. Perhaps they are different
than what you have?
my apologies. "mabt". i was thinking of;
Help > Troubleshooting Information
where a tab opens with information about settings for thunderbird and
what
has changed and <ctrl+f> brings up a "Find:" bar. no editing.
for "about:config", in above, replace "Find:" with "Search:".
if you still do not see any "Preference Name" with "_color", then you
have
a very big problem.
not counting printer names, i have 21 names with "_color";
# relate to
5 browser.
6 editor.
1 mail.
2 msgcompose.
1 ui.
I don't think I have the problem, it has to be
F-19/XFCE/Thunderbird/Firefox.
The above stuff works in Seamonkey but not with Thunderbird. But doing
as you suggested in about:config from Seamonkey I see what you mean and
was able to change _color to #FFFFFF. I have no explanation for that, I
haven't done anything special to Thunderbird and it works normally
otherwise.
