Thunderbird: viewed emails are light in dark mode

Post by BeyondLies_MintForum »

I've Thunderbird 91.9.1 on Mint 20.3 Cinnamon. My system themes are dark. Within Thunderbird, I have tried both the' system' theme and the 'dark' theme.' Whichever of those I use, the main window - listing emails - is dark, as is the compose window; but when reading emails, or when setting preferences, things are light. Does anyone else have this problem (or might it owe to something customised in my setup)? Thanks.

I had the same problem. search for this theme: Dark Reader 4.9.39 in the Addons and Themes section. It fixed my email text window

terry_dwyer: thanks. Dark Reader works on my Windows PC but not on my Linux Mint PC (or not on one of my Mint PCs; later I will try it on a second Mint PC).

kato181: I am sorry but I do not understand you.
