[Mulberry-discuss] changing display font size in Thunderbird

[Brian Reid]

It continues to seem odd to be discussing Thunderbird on a Mulberry
list, but I continue to believe that Thunderbird is the most likely
successor to Mulberry for me, and I'm trying to learn about it.

I have finally succeeded in changing the font size in message list displays:

* Find the Mozilla profile folder (on my Mac it's in
~/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles
* create in it a subfolder named "chrome"
* create chrome/userChrome.css if it doesn't already exist
* Add this css entry:

/* Global UI font */
* { font-size: 11pt;
font-family: Lucida;
}

I can now read my Thunderbird inbox listing without my glasses. Hooray.

Did you peek at the settings in Tools > Options > Display > Formatting?

To get exactly what you want for everything you will also need to click
the Advanced button and playh with those.

But yes, modifying settings and/or the UI with the userChrome.css and
the user.js files is extremely powerful - but you also have to be
careful, these settings can sometimes (depending on the settings
involved) have unexpected consequences, especially during upgrades....

I spent a year playing with those options. Nothing worked.
This works.
