Steps to reproduce:

Installed Thunderbird 115 from autonomous archive on Ubuntu 22.04,

with system default gtk theme, Yaru.

Actual results:

In Thunderbird accentuation is blue.

Expected results:

Accentuation colour should be orange, as everywhere else in desktop environment.

In previous 102 version, accentuation colour in Thunberbird matches system default colour.

You are right, same problem here (Bug 1843646) with multiple machines with Debian or Kubuntu. Thunderbird 115 does not use the system colors (except only two or three UI elements in the hole Thunderbird), while any other GTK oder Qt application does, including previous Thunderbird versions.

Corresponding Firefox bug would be bug 1796730. Since bug 1796730 changed a file under browser/, some Thunderbird-specific changed may be required.

[Emilio Cobos Álvarez (:emilio)]

That bug was about windows. Linux should have the proper accent colours exposed.

Comment 5

[Cœur Noir]

Still true in v115.0.1

Comment 7

[Cœur Noir]

That's not « RESOLVED » at all.

There are many reasons NOT to want blue as accentuation colour.

In progress in v125-beta but still some blue in calendar/agenda ;-)

see → https://i.ibb.co/9pk6qNG/TB-125beta-calendar.png ( as it is today, unmodified ).

I tried these css ( in 115.9.0 ) but not enough ( some blue details still appear here and there ) :

/* calendar */
/* mini month, left pane */
--selected-item-color: rgba(233, 84, 32, 0.7) ;
--mmHighlightBackground: rgba(233, 84, 32, 0.9) ;
--mmDaySelectedBackground: rgba(233, 84, 32, 0.2) ;
--mmDaySelectedBorderColor: rgba(233, 84, 32, 0.7) ;
--mmDaySelectedTodayBackground: rgba(233, 84, 32, 0.2) ;
--mmDaySelectedTodayBorderColor: rgba(233, 84, 32, 0.9) ;
--mmDayBusyColor: rgba(233, 84, 32, 0.9) ;
/* main view, right side */
--viewHighlightBorderColor: rgba(233, 84, 32, 0.9) ;
--viewTodayDayLabelBackground: rgba(233, 84, 32, 0.9) ;
--viewDayLabelSelectedBackground: rgba(233, 84, 32, 0.7) ;
--viewHeaderSelectedBackground: rgba(233, 84, 32, 0.7) ;
--viewDayBoxSelectedBackground: rgba(233, 84, 32, 0.2) ;
--viewDayBoxOtherSelectedBackground: rgba(233, 84, 32, 0.2) ;
--viewDayBoxOffSelectedBackground: rgba(233, 84, 32, 0.2) ;
--viewTodayWeekendBackground: rgba(233, 84, 32, 0.2) ;
--viewDragboxBackground: rgba(233, 84, 32, 0.4) ;
--viewDropshadowBackground: rgba(233, 84, 32, 0.4) ;

TB 125beta : some parts still don't follow system accentuation color.

Mail view in TB125beta, with correct accentuation.
Though selected messages ( in the list ) will still appear with a blue background. System accentuation color is also expected there.

Hi, thanks for the screenshot.
Yes, we're slowly trickling in the accentColor to all elements and making sure it doesn't break accessibility or color contrast.
Could you open a dedicated bug for the calendar and CC me on it?
