919802 - userChrome.css not Effective in Thunderbird

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[David E. Ross]

Attachment: userChrome.css to change font to dark blue

Windows XP SP3
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/24.0
Default 24.0 theme
all extensions disabled

The names of those newsgroups with unread messages that are new in the current session are displayed in the folder pane with a light blue font.  I want to change this to dark blue.  I was advised via the mozilla.support.thunderbird newsgroup to insert a CSS statement for this into userChrome.css in the chrome folder in my Thunderbird profile.  

I created a chrome folder in my Thunderbird profile.  The attachment is my userChrome.css file.  Note that this is based on a userChrome.css file that I use successfully with SeaMonkey.  From the beginning of the file down to the 
     /* set default namespace to XUL */
comment, nothing is changed.  

I captured screen prints before and after this change and see no difference in the blue text.  Yes, I terminated and relaunched Thunderbird after making the change.

rsx11m, do you see anything wrong with the css?  (I don't clearly recall if you work with this stuff or not)

It appears that userChrome.css is now effective in Thunderbird.  While I have removed the original CSS, I recently added new CSS to reinstate the old appearance of the compose window.  That worked.
