For Thunderbird 91.10, running on Windows 10: How do I increase the font size for the message list in the Thread Pane, and the folder list in the Folder Pane?

Thanks so much ...

Steve

Here are some samples you can work with:

In config editor: 

  toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true

Try this css code:

/* Threads Pane font and background*/

  1. threadTree > treechildren { 
 font-size: 12pt !important;
 font-family: Times !important;
 background-color: lightgrey !important;
 color: navy !important;

}

/* Folder Pane font and background*/

  1. folderTree > treechildren { 
 font-size: 12pt !important;
 font-family: Times !important;
 background-color: lightgrey !important;
 color: navy !important;

}

David, thanks so much for the quick response ... I have seen this suggestion before, but it did not work for me.

However, I found another that uses: font.size.systemFontScale in Config Editor ... I increased the value from 100 to 125, and that worked fine.

It did upscale all the pane fonts, but that makes it all much more readable.

Thx again, Steve
