Addon installation on Tunderbird 68.2.1 Linux (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Desktop) fails, says it's not compatible with this version of thunderbird.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Download 'monterail-fulldark-master.zip'
2. Renamed it to 'monterail-fulldark-master.xpi'
3. Install it using the manual addon 'install from file' procedure of Thunderbird
4. See error on attached image
   
   Translation is 'This module could not be installed because it is not compatible with thunderbird 68.2.1'.

Expected behavior
According to you description, you updated the addon to be compatible with thunderbird 68 so I expected it to be installable.

Build information (please complete the following information):

Hi,

First, thanks for a great addon.

I use Thunderbird 60.0 on Fedora 28 64b, DE is Plasma 5.13.4

I think the addon could be improved by working on lightning, the contrast with too much. I would advise to work on the background of the calendar, and also the search bar.

Let met know if I can be useful! I have few skills in programming though.

Thanks and have a great day!

The Search tab that shows up when searching for mails is not themed both in Dark and FullDark.
Would it be possible to theme them as well?

All the best!

thanks for the new release https://github.com/conema/monterail-fulldark/releases/tag/2.0 !

I use it under Fedora 31 and with the thunderbird-package provided by the fedora repos.

Unfortunately I have to report back that for me the colors of tags aren't visible:

If I tag a message by pressing the respective number key, the message isn't displayed with the assigned color. The tag is attached, but no color.

This happens on both of my systems.

I don't have anything special "userChrome.css" as far as I know ...

pls advise, thanks

This theme does not change TB 60 to 'dark.'

How can i change the background from white to grey? It should have the same grey color as next to it.

Hi, I've noticed that attachments panel is while, while on default dark theme it's dark.
Now:

After mouse hover:

How it should look:

I'm using Mint (Cinnamon) and dark theme.
My TB version is 60.2.1

Is it possible to have a more compact view of the message list vertically? As it stands now it displays too few messages.
Can I get this result by inserting a piece of code in userchrome.css?
Thank you.

first of all it's a great theme, especially since the new Version 1.1.4.
There is only one thing, the 2.toolbar ist still in white, that means you can't seen the text and hardly can seen the icons. Hope you are able to change this in the near future. Tks & brgds

Describe the bug
Message tags not visible when theme is active in Thunderbird 68. Disabling the extension makes them visible again.

Hi everyone.

I'm not fluent in English so please excuse my potential language mistakes.

I've found a problem with junk mail icon in Monterail Full Dark theme :

As you can see on my screenshot, the junk mail icon stays the same, junk or no-junk.

And so, even if I :

• click directly on it (next the mail's title)
• click on "Junk" button
• right click on the mail I want to mark as "junk"

Is it possible to fix this problem ?

Thank you a lot for your help.

Hello again conema!!

Monterail full-dark is nearly perfect right now. :)
I just wanted to bring this to your attention.

Would it be possible to put the "X more" test in the mail headers in white color instead of black?

And also the lock for read-only calendars in the calendar tab?

All the best!

Some elements not showing light blue accent colour. The current folder in the folder's pane shows only a dark grey highlight on the selected folder as opposed to the light blue accent colour shown in the screenshots in this repo. Also, the calendar does not highlight the today's date any longer. I am using Thunderbird 68.7.0 (64-bit) and a fresh install.

We need to edit the css of calendars to meet theme's style, they should be full dark.
For the moment, calendars are like this:

Apologies but I've got one more question: I used TT DeepDark before switching to your theme (as the former is not compatible any longer), and that theme highlighted the messages according to their tag colours. So if a message was tagged as important, selecting it in the message list would highlight it red. With multiple tags, the first tag is the one that was used. If the message had no tags, the theme accent colour was used. Would it be possible to implement this behaviour?

On Linux some button have a really bad looking background, they should have the same background color as Windows:

Hey,
the darkmode is nearly perfect and I really like the look & feel.
There is one little thing which could be improved. There are blue bars in the calendar tab which do not fit in the darkmode.

Is it possible to change this?
Thank you!

I installed this theme on thunderbird 68.3.0-1 but it seems like it is not working. Absolutely nothing is changed after installing it... I zipped the contents of the repo to an .xpi, dragged to the addons page and it installed. I have the entry "Monterail Full-Dark" in the extensions page. Yet, nothing is changed.

Any idea what is happening?

EDIT: I tried dragging and dropping to the "Themes" page, instead of the "Extensions" page, but the end result is exactly the same.

After the last commit there are two borders on the attachment menu, I feel that the theme will be better without them.

Can someone tell me how to change only icons in thunderbird?
Sorry, i didn't know where to write this question

Just a quick thanks for your work and improvements, I really appreciate it. Is it enough to update the theme via the "internal addon update" or do I have to install/update somehow manually to keep up to date with this project?

I found the info not fully clear.
To use the theme I assume it has to be installed ín the normal way. Then the packaged named "thunderbird-monterail-master.zip" should be extracted, re-named to chrome and placed in the Thunderbird folder.

Are there any other settings, apart from selecting the theme in the Thunderbird Add-on section?
I ask because changes I did in the userChrome.css. The theme starts up ok.

Hey there @conema : since you were so quick & helpful on the other Issue, I thought I'd test out this theme for you on MacOS. Looks like a similar issue occurs on this one:

I can only read the message that I hover over.

Hi everyone,

I have a question :
is it possible to change unread and read mails background colors ?

Here a screenshot example :

Thank you for your help.

Hi everyone.

First, I have to say that I'm not fluent in English so please excuse my potential language mistakes.
I'll try to do my best !

Here is my question :

I would like to change the mail list text color of the theme Monterail Full Dark.

I am able to change the mail list background color in root.css (I changed the dark grey color for a white color) but I can not find the line for the mail list text color (I would like to replace it with a dark color because now, I can not read the text...)

Can you help me ?

I joined a screenshot to show my problem.

Thank you a lot for your help.

Describe the bug
The Toolbar colors in the Address Book appear to still be using a light theme for the background/button colors, but with white text. This appears to be the case on all default themes, and is only occurring with monterail-fulldark enabled.

At the time of writing, I've tested the version available on the Thunderbird Addons repository, release 2.1 from this github repository, as well as the current master branch from this repository.

To Reproduce (if applicable)
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to "Address Book" from the main GUI

Expected behavior
At work, on a similarly setup machine, the Address Book looks and works as expected, though perhaps I'm missing the latest update on that machine?

Build information (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10 Pro x64 1909, Build 18363.535

Additional Addons not related to this project

• Calendar Tweaks
• DKIM Verifier
• Enigmail
• FiltaQuilla
• ImportExportTools NG
• Lightning
• Provider for Google Calendar
• Remove Duplicate Messages (Alternate)
• ThunderKeepPlus

Additional context
I've also tested with only Monterail-FullDark enabled, and all other addons disabled, and see the same results. Many of the above addons are new additions for me, so at first I was initially under the impression that something was conflicting...however, I'm not seeing this anywhere else in the UI, so it was a little odd to me for that to be the case. Nevertheless, disabling everything else results in the same issue.

OSX 10.14, TB 60.0b11.

The font in the email list view is a strange compressed Comic Sans look-alike and the row height is huge.

Hi everyone.

I'm not fluent in English so please excuse my potential language mistakes.

I would like to change the color of :

• "Draft" icon
• "Send" icon
• "Junk" icon
• "Trash" icon

like on this example screenshot :

Do you have an idea of how to do this ?

Thank you a lot for your help !

Add -background-color-light and -background-color in the theme settings

Ref: #41

Can the light grey color on the Mail Toolbar and the light grey color when composing a new message be changed to a darker color? Such as, the dark color in the built-in dark theme (see screenshots). Thanks.

Describe the bug
By default, replying to message in plain text mode displays cited text in blue on the dark gray background and nearly completely unreadable.

To Reproduce (if applicable)
Reply to message without HTML editor.

Expected behavior
It is better to change text color to something like gray or so. I'm not sure where to put it in this plugin, but in TB it is located in the html.css(168) file:

`span[_moz_quote=true] {
color: blue;
}

pre[_moz_quote=true] {
color: blue;
}
`
Editing it here (by replacing blue to gray) gives perfect results, but obviously conflicts with updates.

How can I change the color of the date display? I'd like to use the same blue color as the one that is displayed.

At first: thanks for the great theme, I really love it and use it for years(?) now ;-)

What I don't get:

when I reply to an email (= a draft is opened) the colors aren't ideal IMO

the quoted text is in blue, the background is a dark grey and the contrast between the two could be better ... it's hard to read the quoted text and stressful on my eyes.

I am not sure where and how to change that, I played with various settings, toggled system colors etc etc

Maybe this is part of the theme or not, I am quite confident that you guys can point me at the right place to improve that.

thanks, Stefan

ps: will attach screenshot if requested

Running Thunderbird on Manjaro KDE, with Kvantum and Arc-Dark theme.

I installed the monterrail set of themes, which really is great (fully recommend, gives thunderbird a much more modern look). I only have problems in the lightning extension

As you can see in this screenshot, calendar colors are quite messy. The biggest problems are the date selection tools, which are white-text over white background. Not really ideal.

I couldn't figure out how to change this in my UserChrome.css file. Does anybody have an idea?

After double-clicking received e-mail to open it in new window, fields such as "From", "Subject", "Respond to", "To" are written in white color on very bright background and are completely unreadable, as seen below:

Only after hovering mouse cursor they are highlighted (background around text changes to blue), as seen below:

Windows 10 Home, Thunderbird v60.2.1 (32-bit)

It would be better (imo) if there was an higher contrast between read and unread e-mails. As it is, I have some trouble in differentiating read and unread e-mails. Perhaps a different foreground color?

There is the green read-icon thingie, but something feels wrong. Maybe it's just that I am not used to thunderbird.

EDIT: Would it be possible to change the size of the green circle for unread items?

Describe the bug
The background of the menu should be dark colored

To Reproduce (if applicable)
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open the menu
2. Press one option with multiple choice

I'm sure you will be hearing from others, but the Monterail Full Dark theme is no longer compatible with Thunderbird 60.3.0. Also, when I tried the trick you described for earlier version issues, I was unable to delete the [email protected] file with Thunderbird running in the background because I got the error message that it was being used and couldn't be deleted.

Hopefully you will be able to update the theme for the new version because it is great!

Thanks!

Hi, I really like your full dark theme but I am not a big fan of the brighter grey colour that is used in some elements. An example of this is the window for writing a new email. Currently it looks like this:

Is there an easy way of making them look like this?:

The same is true for the top panel in both the email and calendar:

I'll glady help with this, but so far I've been unable to find any documentation from Mozilla on how themes work past 60, nor have I found any themes that do anything beyond add a picture behind the tab bar.

Hi, I tried to do a couple of colour changes in Thunderbird 78.2.2. Most of it was ok. But the icons are still white. I am not sure how to change them to black. It would be nice if you can help me with this. Thanks.

Description
The contrast of the font against the background in the «customize toolbar» dialog is too low, as the font is bright and so is the background.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Start ThunderBird
2. Right click in the main «menue bar»
3. Choose «customize...»
4. The dialog «customize toolbar» has bright font despite the bright background.

Expected behavior
The contrast of the font against the background in the «customize toolbar» dialog should be high enough to allow ease of reading.

Solution ideas

• dark font in the dialog
• completely new dialog design to make it look as neat as all the newly themed rest of ThunderBird

Screenshots
Low contrast in dialog corner

Build information

• OS: Windows 10, 64bit
• ThunderBird: 68.3.1 (32-bit), «release» update channel
• Monterail-fulldark Version 2.1 (updated 09.01.2020)

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

When we click the Hamburger menu, we get sub-menus for Addons, Tools etc. In this sub-menu there is a white background and almost white text. It is almost impossible to read them.

To Reproduce (if applicable)
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to ' Hamburger Menu'
2. Click on 'Tools / Addons'
3. You will see that both the text and background are of the same colour. Even we hover with mouse there is very small amount of readability

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Darker background colour or darker text would be legible.

I am on latest TB 78 and use latest monterail-fulldark 3.1 and i can not read the Adressbook, Can you change this please?

Would it be possible to have the message view (as in, the place where an email's text appears) dark as well? It currently is white.

From the TB Options I've set the colors for the background color to black and text to gray, yet the preview pane remains white around the dark email background.

Can that be themed as well?

Hi!
I love this theme but I'm using Mailspring, an other open source mail client.
There is any hope that you'll make it for Mailspring too?
