Can Color Scheme of Header Listings in Folders Be Changed...?

Unread post by gmeades » 2017-02-09, 22:46

The Color scheme of the headers that show up in each folder in Fossamail when clicked on seem to be an alternating white and blue. While this may be helpful to make each link show up to some users, I find that when I click on a line that is white, it doesn't appear to change in any way once the email has been read and the font is no longer bolded. This make is difficult when holding down the CTRL key and selecting multiple items to be deleted when line after line is a white line. There's no way to tell that it's been selected.

I've searched through the options and don't seem to be able to find anyway to change the color scheme or highlighting behavior when selecting individual emails within folders anywhere.

Is there any way to change the color scheme so that all the lines that are selected turn blue when highlighted so it is plain and obvious which lines have been selected when holding the Ctrol key and selecting individual lines for deleting (copying, moving, etc.)...?

Thx...

I can't seem to replicate this problem. Have you installed any theme's or personas that may have changed the standard appearance of Fossamail?

Ir's one of the oddities of the theme inherited from Thunderbird with the front-end update. I don't particularly like the zebra either, so I'll see if I can remove it.
