Yes that is my problem, I can't find whatever it is that controls the "link name" color, it is dark blue against the black background that I use and essentially invisible unless I high light it which is inconvenient.
something/someone has gotten in you thunderbird about:config settings?
As for the "21" items under "mail" I tried changing each Blue entry to 00 as I said earlier, to which you took exception.
if you would make changes completely as i have posted in past, you would have what you want. you need to change *all* to *FF* to get *white*. no, you are taking exception and changing what _you_ want to change and not what i tell you to change. setting a color at FF sets it to it's highest level of view. setting a color to 00 removes it from view. to view black, all colors are turned full off with 000000. to view white, all colors are turned full on with FFFFFF. > I suspect that as Dave mentioned it may be something we have to add, > but what and how? if you have what i list below, you need to add nothing.
What do they call the link name?
anchor, link, and visited.
browser.underline_anchors has only two options, true or false. It is set to true.
correct, as it is boolean and can only be true or false. as should be.
browser.anchor_color accepts hex color codes. I set it to white but does not affect the color of the "link name."
that is anchor color, leave at #FFFFFF for *white*.
browser.underline_anchors has nothing to do with the color of quoted links, it just controls the underline I assume.
correct. correct. should be true to underline links. *so, one more time*, for _all_ text to be *white* on a *black* background: browser.active_color #FFFFFF browser.anchor_color #FFFFFF browser.display.background_color #000000 browser.display.focus_background_color #000000 browser.display.focus_text_color #FFFFFF browser.display.foreground_color #FFFFFF browser.visited_color #FFFFFF editor.active_link_color #FFFFFF editor.background_color #000000 editor.followed_link_color #FFFFFF editor.link_color #FFFFFF editor.text_color #FFFFFF mail.citation_color #FFFFFF msgcompose.background_color #000000 msgcompose.text_color #FFFFFF see the commonality of above? after making above changes, close about:config window, close preferences window, close thunderbird window. sing 5 verses of "happy birthday bob". open thunderbird, open an email, should be _all_white_text_ on _all_black_background_. press <ctrl+r>, compose window should be _all_white_text_ on _all_black_background_. if not, open about:config to see what settings have changed and reset them to above. after making above changes, close about:config window, close preferences window, select; Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled accept prompts to close thunderbird window. sing 5 verses of "happy birthday bob". open thunderbird, open an email, should be _all_white_text_ on _all_black_background_. press <ctrl+r>, compose window should be _all_white_text_ on _all_black_background_. if not, you have something very, very wrong and you need to try a different desktop environment. -- peace out. in a world with out fences, who needs gates. sl6.3 linux tc.hago. g . -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
