George - There's probably no way to convince you that I have done all this correctly but after going through these settings again very carefully [backgrounds #000000, all others #ffffff] this morning in both Thunderbird and Seamonkey the result is still dark blue quoted link names in Thunderbird and black on black quoted link names in Seamonkey. I can always tap CTRL+A and read everything ...
i do believe that after last post, you should have settings as should be. as i said, if after that and links still do not become white on black, it may well be the 'de' and using kde, even gnome, would prove out if it is a fixed, unchangeable.
It seems I can't have white text on black without suffering incovenience, something that it seems [to me] should be just one item to toggle instead of the mess it is now. I can't believe that I am the only one who finds white on black preferable.
it does have advantages, but if i change from black on white, it will be with euro orange on black.
Thanks for the help but let's drop it here,
welcome, but i have too much perseverance. i find it difficult to not be able to override "link" settings to get what you want. to understand operation of configurations, basically, they works as; when thunderbird opens, it reads "prefs.js" to set up "about:config" settings, then reads "user.js", "userContent.css", "userChrome.css", for user's preferred settings. on closing, "about:config" settings rebuilds "prefs.js". "user.js", "userContent.css", "userChrome.css", are not touched. to save possibility of my "chemo brain" making an incorrect statement, ;=) read these links; http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries http://kb.mozillazine.org/Category:Configuration_%28Thunderbird%29 http://kb.mozillazine.org/Category:Visual_customizations_%28Thunderbird%29 http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserContent.css http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css_Element_Names/IDs http://kb.mozillazine.org/White_on_black_-_Thunderbird [change 'fixing links' from #aaf to #fff] http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_display_color_-_Thunderbird in closing, i will say this, if you can not find what you need in above links, and you try a different 'de', i will back up my thunderbird, make changes for euro orange on black to see what happens and probably leave it as such. ;=) much luck. -- 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?
