Hi community,

I am struggling to make my email default text color: #1f497d

Every time I write a new email I have to go to ”Choose color for text” -> "Enter an HTML color string" and insert the HTML code above.

Can I make it default? Going to Tools - Options - Display - Formatting - Colors it DOES NOT HELP since gives you only a limited number of colors. I tried a lot to find this on forum but no luck.

Thank you very much!

One method: In a userContent.css file stored in chrome folder If you only require it in the email:

  • Exit Thunderbird
  • Access profile name folder and create a folder called chrome.
  • Copy text between lines below and paste into a text editor program like notepad or Word pad.
  • Save file as userContent.css in chrome folder.
  • Start thunderbird.
  • click on 'Write'
  • Text colour should be the one you want.

/* Body */
body { 
color: #1f497d !important;
}

Set up a template, or better, install the Stationery add-on and design an html template using css markup to apply your styles.

You may also be able to do it via a userContent.css file too. I have this in mine:

/*
 * Set default font size
 */
* { font-size: 9pt !important; }

I can't see any reason why you couldn't add a font colour statement there too. But note this is global, and would also be applied to incoming messages, so if you want to be able to set it on a per-account or per-correspondent basis, or need to be able to differentiate between text by different authors, the Stationery option would be more flexible.

Update.

It works well, it's just that receivers see my email in black. Any solutions?

Thanks!

Try this to get it hardcoded into the html.

  • Menu icon > Options > Options > Advanced > 'General' tab
  • click on 'Config Editor' button
  • in search type: text_color

Look for this line:

  • msgcompose.text_color
  • Double click on that line and a small window opens.
  • Enter: #1f497d
  • click on 'OK'
  • close window - top right X
  • click on 'OK'

Open a new Write message Type and send email


  • Menu icon > Options > Options > Composition > 'General' tab

Under the HTML section, the text colour should now show the colour you are trying to send hardcoded into emails.
