How do I change the skin in the new message pane?

Question

The newest release just doesn't look right. The message To: and Subject: fields are harder to see at a glance. Is there a was to roll back the way it looks, graphically speaking, to the old look without rolling back to the previous version. I personally like a look that has more contrast.

In Thunderbird
Help > Troubleshooting Information
click on 'show Folder' button
a new window opens showing profile folders - It will look similar to first image below.
Close Thunderbird now - this is important - before you start to do what it says at the link.
Then create a new folder called '''chrome''' - note the spelling. So it Profile folder looks like the second image below.
Open Notepad
Copy paste all the contents shown at the link into notepad and then save the file as''' userChrome.css''' (note the spelling) in the '''chrome''' folder.
Restart thunderbird.
