[Solved] Thunderbird menu fonts unreadable (Gloria)

Postby BigBaaadBob on Wed Jul 01, 2009 12:27 am

I installed Gloria onto a new disk and then copied just the .mozilla and .mozilla-thunderbird directories from my felicia disk into the newly created home directory. Thunderbird works correctly except that the fonts in the menus are unreadable because they have white foregrounds instead of black. Thunderbird run from the livecd doesn't have this problem. Screenshot attached. Any idea how to fix?

Actually, I realize by comparing my profile to a newly created one (by renaming the .mozilla-thunderbird directory) the problem isn't the font colors but rather the background color for the menus. It is gray for me and black for the default profile. Still don't know how to fix though...

Have you tried to make any adjustments to your theme in the Appearances section? That might help. I know you can adjust the HTML #xxxxxx settings manually.

Actually, simpler than that. I forgot I was using the Noia theme. No good for Thunderbird (even though it works fine for Firefox). Deleting that theme and using the default theme fixes the problem. solved
