I recently updated Thunderbird. Currently now running 128.1.0esr (64-bit). The highlight colour (when I place the cursor on a message) is now a dark brown. I need to change this to another colour so that I can 'see' the text of the header. Have played with colours in Settings, General - these changes do not change the default highlight colour. Hope you have a fix. Thanks. Cheers. Bobbe G

Those colors are picked up from those set in the Windows theme. Change the windows colors change the color Thunderbird uses.

For me it is grey on Windows 11.
