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.
Not to muddy this up any more... :-)
Are you saying that this 'line' in not in Thunderbird's config or that
changing this *exact* line does nothing?
I ask because if the line is not there you can add it. This does not
always work but often it does. Roll the dice and try it. If it does not
work you can remove it.
Roll the die. You might get a '20'. Or you might get a '2'. Ya' never
know. :-)
In about:config look for mail.citation_color. That is the only _color in
mine that has the color of my quoted text.
