Thunderbird Address area (To, CC, BCC, Subject) is suddenly really ugly.

When I write an email the address area is really ugly and expanded to show several rows. It is a medium grey background with white 3D lines with shadows. IMPORTANT: Changing the Theme doesn't make any difference. I don't remember changing any settings that would cause this. Address area includes the items below plus the formatting toolbar above the message area. From: To: Option (To, CC, BCC, Reply to) Option (To, CC, BCC, REply to) Subject:

You'll need to create a folder named chrome in your profile, alongside Mail and ImapMail, and inside it a file named userChrome.css, if you don't already have them. Neither exists by default in a vanilla Thunderbird installation.

The first active line of the userChrome.css file must be:

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");

The Composer window has been re-written to address several long-standing bugs. Like it or not, the re-styling of the addressing area is part and parcel of the rework.

ISTR that some of the contributors to the newslist came up with css fixes for the appearance. I'll see if I can find any of that.

Thank you, I would love to have this information. I can handle CSS, at this point I don't have a clue where I could modify this.

This worked. I put the file in profile folder under AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/... I tried changing some of the CSS, it didn't have any effect interestingly but at least it looks a lot better.
