I see a background when I select a folder in the Folder pane using Thunderbird 72.0b1 on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.

If I select a message from that folder in the Thread pane the folders background gets a little lighter. I can still know which folder I am in because the background fills the whole Folder pane.

This is with the Default Thunderbird theme.

With the Light Thunderbird theme, the folder in the Folder pane and message in the Thread pane have the same darker background when a message is selected.

With the Dark Thunderbird theme, the folder in the Folder pane and message in the Thread pane also remain the same background color.

Which theme are you using?

Do you see a difference when selecting any other theme?

I'm on macOS Mojave 10.14.6 (18G1012). The OS is set to use dark mode, but Thunderbird is set to use the Light theme.

Switching to the dark theme in Thunderbird makes the folder get a background in the folder pane (RGB: 76, 76, 81). (I'll use that as a workaround for now, thanks.)
