.Bob Goodwin:I suspect that n one reading my inquiry knows how SeaMonkey works.No big surprise. A user-support group is more about operating the software than the programming of the software, and it's a rapidly moving target.I checked and found one .css file already there, apparently created by the "Tonequilla" add-on I installed to get audio announcement of messages received. I could probably add to the if necessary but I haven' the slightest idea where to look for what is coloring the addresses listed in the email message display headers, e.g. From, To, Subject. They are coming up in dark blue and I can't read them against the black background.I tend to hate dark websites, for the same reason (dark blue on black is difficult to see, to begin with, and my eyes blur blue terribly). Also, glaring white text on black is painful on my eyes. I did a medium contrast CSS page for attacking websites (make nearly everything black on grey). There's more information around on restyling webpage rendering than the rest of the user interface of the software, and it's mostly about the web browsers instead of mail clients. Some of the information is transferable, but you need to know how. It may be worth uploading the .css file, somewhere so we can see if we can make use of it. As I said there's only one css file I can find and it doesn't look like much: [bobg@Box83-F28-workstation ~]$ cat /home/bobg/.mozilla/seamonkey/e582sp8a.default/extensions/tonequilla@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/skin/filterEditorOverlay.css .ruleactiontarget[type="tonequilla@xxxxxxxxxxxxx#playSound"] { -moz-binding: url("chrome://tonequilla/content/bindings.xml#soundPicker"); } toolbarbutton.focusbutton { -moz-user-focus: normal; } .I would like to try adding to .css but I have no idea as to the name of the item I am trying to modify. I had hoped they would tell me what they had done to color those lines but no success on that question. I looked for a clue in about:config but without success so far.Might be a time to try tangentially. What have you tried doing, so far? Have you searched for "thunderbird vision impaired," or header colours, accessibility, etc, trying to find ready made solutions? Nothing helpful there, stuff I am aware of and done anything that might help. .Because Mozilla, Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, etc., support theming the interface, there ought to be one that manages to change the entire interface colour scheme to something useful (though it could be an annoying series of tests to go through trying a lot of them). Here, we have organisation like the Royal Society for the Blind, which sometimes have technology support, and have found a few solutions for making the various usual internet programs easier to deal with. Well it looks like there in resides the problem. Seamonkey 2.49.4, the one I dnf installed comes with two themes and the one I selected for the white text on black has the problem while the one with the black on white does not, just saw that this afternoon ... I was unable to find a copy of the default theme file that we might be able to do something with, I thought perhaps as an .xpi file but not even that so far those are "binary" files, look like machine language with a hexeditor to me. .It may be worth asking for some direct help on one of the Mozilla forums. e.g. If you have a simple set of conditions you'd like imposed on the display, outline them, see if someone can provide a preconfigured file, or the appropriate keywords. Such as saying you want the message body and message headers to be all white on black (text, links, header names, everything), always (overriding any other settings). Perhaps a screenshot or two (what it's doing - dark blue on black, and fake up one of what you want). I've looked through these links for information (below), and typed up some stylesheets to try out. http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css http://kb.mozillazine.org/Category:Visual_customizations_%28Thunderbird%29 http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bad_Eyesight_-_Thunderbird http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_display_color_-_Thunderbird http://webdesigns.ms11.net/chromeditp.html https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/904670 If the list allows it through, I'll send a couple of example stylesheets that seem to do what you're asking when I try them on Thunderbird. I don't have SeaMonkey installed, and I don't use Thunderbird, so it's a bit of trial and error. It appears that this version, Seamonkey 2.49.4 is not compatible with any of the earlier version themes. It has some other problems that I am beginning to recognize. A few minutes ago I lost control of that computer, a black screen, finally in desperation I tried to shut it down via an ssh connection from here. The screen came up full of what a[[eared to be a huge number of address book entries, it looked like it was just up to the "C's" whatever that was it looked like some sort of security breach, perhaps someone intending to send spam through it? I shut the computer down. My interest in Seamonkey is waning and I am done for today ... I really appreciate your help and have been going through your suggestions as best I can, Thanks, Bob -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 FEDORA-27/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3 |
