How can I change the background color in the inbox?

The background color in my inbox (well, all mailboxes) is white. A yellow background would make the existing black text a lot easier to read. How can I change the background color in the inbox?

Themes work in Thunderbird - duggabe was not refering to Firefox.
Another useful addon is theme and font changer:

I have chosen a yellow for you

#f6f58c = a yellow....it is a hex code for a colour.

You can change it if required. Remember when updating anything in the profile folders, you must close Thunderbird first.

  • How can I change fullscreen background color, so that it is the same when viewing on mac and iPad? I want this to be able to use MathType in widget text.

    How can I change fullscreen background color, so that it is the same when viewing on mac and iPad? I want this to be able to use MathType in widget text.
    As an example, html widget has white background on iPad, and black on mac. The same goes for interactive widget.
    The MathType text inserted is inserted as a image, and will have the same color when in fullscreen as when not. So I need the textcolor to be the same in both views. Anyone know how to fix this?

    We're still not communicating. This is why I wanted an example .iba.
    Here's a re-creation of my own, going off what you described. You said "all html widgets and all gallery widgets" have this problem. So I inserted a blank HTML widget and a blank Gallery widget, and typed into both. Inserted a MathType equation into both. I don't see any difference when I preview it on my Mac compared to the preview on the iPad. I want to help, but I can't help if I can't duplicate the issue.
    I've attached the screen shots and the .iba file [link to .iba file].
    Feel free to email me directly at bobm at dessci dot com. If you're uncomfortable giving some information here, tell me anything you want in email. I work for the "MathType company", Design Science.

  • How do I change to background color in the open tabs; currently grey with black text, hard to read.

    In FF 4.0 can I change the background color of the open tabs. Currently it is grey with black type. A lighter background would be easier to read.

  • The new operating system changed the background color of the photos app from black to white.  How do I change the color back to black?

    You can't. Sorry.

    You can tell apple that you'd like it and see if they respond....eventually. (you don't get responses from your feedback mails but they have been known to issue changes that users have asked for, such as the ability to mass delete apps)

  • How do I change the background color of the pages?

    Do you  know how to edit the template?   If not  simply  choose a rectangle shape, change colour to Black and using ARRANGE, send to back and  bring forward till it replaces whatever is there.
    The best way is to  pull down the book slide to reveal the Layout - which shows you the chapters and section etc  which make up a template.  You have to  use the same procedure on ever page from the template you intend to  use.
    In the Template Layout, select  your page. Click on whatever your background colour is...IF its unlocked you see the  square pull handles in corners - now simply select Black and it should change the colour - if not and its unlocked, it  may be a black image, in which case delete it, Insert a new rectangle, pull to  fit the  page and change colour to  black. It should now be hiding  the other content, ARRANGE > Send to Back and it should sit  behind all your content. Now go back to arrange and LOCK.
    You should see a red marker on  the left with whatever page you are editing "Save Changes" click it and its done... repeat on all other pages.

    Hi,
    CSS is interpreted by your browser, so server cache seems unlikely in htis case. There is however some hierarchy in CSS, so parts of the APEX CSS, theme CSS or page CSS might overwright or block yours.
    Does changing the CSS on runtime affect your page? Eg, run the following in your browser console and see if your page turns black: $('#uBodyContainer').css("background-color","black")
    Also try moving up your css in the hierarchy labeling it as important:
    div#uBodyContainer { 
      background-color:#000000 !important;

  • How do you change a background color in Lightroom 4.4 ?

    Hi ..please how can you make a background color change in Lightroom 4.4  ?@

    If you are talking about the surrounding background of the photo while in Library Loupe View or in Develop, that you can select among 3 levels of gray, black or white in the Preferences / Interface settings.
    If you are talking about the photo itself, you need to be a bit more specific about what you'd like to do.

  • Changing the background color of the row of the selected cell in table view

    How can I change the background color of the table row when user clicks on table cell in table view?
    Edited by: a_brar on May 5, 2012 11:12 PM

    You could apply the following css style (by defining a custom stylsheet with the following lines and loading it into your app).
    The last color sets the background color of the selected row while the table-view has focus (in this case to orange).
    .table-view:focused .table-row-cell:filled:focused:selected {
        -fx-background-color: -fx-focus-color, -fx-cell-focus-inner-border, orange;
    }There are quite a lot of subtleties in the css styling for the tableview (e.g. different colors for the selected row when the control has focus vs when it doesn't or when the user hovers over a selected row in an unfocussed tableview), which you may want to cater for when chaning the background color of the selected row in a table view. There is also alternate styling for when the tableview is in row selection vs cell selection mode. So you may want to look at customizing further based on the css styles in caspian.css in sdk/rt/lib/jfxrt.jar if you can understand the complex css there.

    You might want to rethink your thoughts about making transferring authority easier.  Making it too easy would certainly degrade your account's security.  If you still believe it should be easier, you can send feedback directly to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    You will not get a response, but you can be certain that the responsible Apple people will see your input for consideration in FaceTime product development.
