Details

This RFE is intended to help addon developers in HTML option page development with the necessary basic CSS for the most used elements on option pages. The resulting option pages should be more consistent (between different addons and to Thunderbirds own option pages). The CSS should support default (system), light and dark themes.

The provided CSS subsets have to be (a little bit) different for incontent-pages (in addon manager cards) and for option pages in own tabs, due to the necessary body margins/paddings and maybe due to different background colors.

At the moment (Thunderbird 91 Beta 4 and latest dailies) it is not easy to use Thunderbirds own CSS in addon option pages. On the one hand it is helpfull to include the common.css (common.inc.css), but on the other hand this leads to messed up background and text colors for some input elements (HTML select options) partially in light mode and more in dark mode.

This is not 100% duplicate, but both bugs want the same thing. I agree that we need that for better integration.
