Hard to see Unread emails about monterail-fulldark HOT 16 CLOSED

FWIW I always add these 2 snippets to my userChrome.css. The first one makes the folder list font-size smaller and the second one changes unread messages to red...

#folderTree > treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text {
  font-size: 0.75em;
}
#threadTree > treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(unread) {
  color: #EF0000 !important;
  font-weight: normal !important;
}

You can increase these heights by changing rows 30 and 31 of the skin/root.css file

For the unread mails, I will test something next weekend and I'll update you.

An override fix for showing a different color for unread messages. Go to Preferences/Options -> Advanced -> Config Editor. Search for "toolkit.legacy" and make sure the value of "toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets" is set to "true". Create a "chrome" folder inside your profile folder (Google for different OSs) and create a "userChrome.css" file with the below. Change the "color" value to whatever you want and remove the "font-weight" line if you prefer bold.

#threadTree > treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(unread) {
  color: #EF0000 !important;
  font-weight: normal !important;
}

Just installed this theme and its awesome, but I find this point quite important.

Already edited the listing height but this is beyond my css abilities 😛 .

from monterail-fulldark.

Ya, I would also like the listing height to be a little larger. Also, is it possible to increase the height of the folders? @conema

Are you speaking about the threadlist (mail list)?

Yes.. That and the height of the folders in the folder list.

But this thread is really about the hard-to-see new mails.. I can barely see the difference between unread mails and read mails. It would be nice if unread mails had a different color, like blue? Same goes for the folders that have unread mails!

from monterail-fulldark.

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?

thats my "show-stopper" as well. I can't easily tell whats new whats not. Since I keep dozens of emails in a folder at a time this is critical.

Hi everyone,

I have a question.

What do I have to do to change the background color of unread mails ?

Here I made you a screenshot example :

• red mail titles (unread)
• black mail titles (read)

Thank you a lot for your help !

from monterail-fulldark.

This might get you halfway there in userChrome.css...

#threadTree > treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(unread) {
  color: #FF0000 !important;
  font-weight: normal !important;
  background-color: yellow;
}

Hi markc ,

It doesn't work.
I tried also :

#threadTree > treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(unread) {
  color: #FF0000 !important;
  font-weight: bold !important;
  background-color: #fcff00;
}

but nothing changes.

Do you have an idea ?

from monterail-fulldark.

Try ...

background-color: #fcff00 !important;

from monterail-fulldark.

The color appears but, is it possible to have this result ?

from monterail-fulldark.

Sorry, I've tried a few CSS options but I don't know how to select the entire row background and border color for unread messages.

from monterail-fulldark.

Don't apologize.
I opened a new topic for this particular question. Maybe someone will have an idea.

Thank you for your help markc !

You can change the bg/text of unread emails by adding these lines in userChrome.css or in root.css (the second one is a theme file) by adding:

#threadTree > treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(unread),
#threadTree > treechildren::-moz-tree-cell(unread) {
    color: yellow !important;
    background-color: red !important;
}
