With a dark Linux theme and default TB theme the folderpane-mode-selector-menulist is hard to read with the white text on the light background, see screenshot.

This fixes it by adding a toolbox (folderPane-toolbox) to make the toolbarIconColor.js script apply the "brighttext" attribute. With this the folderpane-mode-selector-menulist gets the correct colours like when the dark TB theme is enabled.

Thanks. There is some gap now after the single element of Folder mode selector.

This is a space I inserted to check the toolbar background color.

Should the toolboxid match the id of the parent toolbox in this case? I'm not sure what effect it has: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/XUL/Property/toolboxid

When I change it to toolboxid="folderPane-toolbox" the folderpane-mode-selector-menulist is no more shown and I can't place buttons etc. on this toolbar.

OK, maybe because that element is part of the palette in mail-toolbox.

Apply the [brighttext] attribute to the folderPane-toolbar too. r=aceman
