Thunderbird 78.9.0 (32-Bit) Calendar "TODAY" highlight

The highlight for "Today" is a light bluish color that does not stand out to me - I'd like to change the highlight to something a bit more obvious - a deeper blue, or even more distinct by highlighting the entire "day" rather than just the header. This is what I found as the chosen solution, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1304213#question-reply I got into Calendar/Tools/Options /General/Indexing /Config. editor.

So I got into "Config. editor" panel with a message to be very careful. Here I got lost. I do not understand the following, could someone be more specific PLEASE HELP.

Try this css code (see picture): .calendar-month-day-box-current-month[selected="true"] {

 background-color: orange !important;}

.calendar-month-day-box-current-month[relation="today"] {

 background-color: red !important;}

Toggle toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in Config. editor.

Chosen solution

Copy this code into the css file:

.calendar-month-day-box-current-month[selected="true"] {
  background-color: orange !important;
}
.calendar-month-day-box-current-month[relation="today"] {
  background-color: red !important;
}

Save the userChrome.css file in the chrome folder, which must be created as a folder in the profile folder. The colors, orange and red in the code, can be changed to any html color.

Config. editor is where you have to toggle the preference described in the other topic. But to install a css code, Help/Troubleshooting, Profile Folder, Open Folder, close TB, create a new folder named chrome, create a new document in chrome with a text editor, name it userChrome.css, Save as type: All files *.*, copy in the css code, change the colors as desired. Double-click toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in Options/General/Config. editor, restart TB.
