I just installed Thunderbird version 60.6.1 under MX Linux 18. My monitor has an aspect ratio of 1.6:1 so the only screen resolution available to me is 1920x1200 which makes everything on the screen pretty small. I installed the Add-on "Theme and Font Size Changer" and I can use it to change the size of the text in the message window and email messages, but the add-on does not affect the size of the text in the Menu bar and Tool Bar, nor the size of the icons in the Tool Bar. Is there a way that I can change the size of these as well?

Thanks in advance...!!!

I did download the fixed version of Theme and Font Size Changer and it does work, but it doesn't change the size of the text in the Menu or Toolbars directly. I was able to partially solve the problem by playing with the Zoom and Font Size settings. By the time I got the icons to a display as a more reasonable size, everything else was huge. It would be nice if the text and icons could be sized directly, but I guess this works for now. Thanks to all of you for making a really nice email program.
