Issue on window writing a new mail

[londonuk371]

The montreil look for Thunderbird is very good but when I want to write a new mail buttons on "Send" line are written black with a dark background. How to fix that?
My options in chrome/userChrome.css are:
//
/ SELECT THEME HERE /
@import "themes/monterail.css";
//
/*****************************************************************/

/* Uncommment to use the dark folder pane style when using the system theme with dark menus */
@import "tweaks/dark-folder-pane.css";

/* Select icon theme (leave commented to use default for the selected theme)*/
@import "icons/lightIcons.css"; /For light Folder Tree and Message List/

Thanks.

I do have the same issue

Hi @londonuk371 @sklaes, are you using an updated version of this theme? That problem should be resolved by #69

May you post a screenshot of the menu bar? (press alt in the new mail window)

[londonuk371]

@conema I downloaded the last version from https://github.com/spymastermatt/thunderbird-monterail with the same result.
I get this with alt:

I tried to modify the file monterail.css at line 39:
--monterail-text-color: #353535;
to
--monterail-text-color: #f8f8f8;
Then I get:

We can't see anymore text right to icons and emails subjects.

We should be able to set 2 colors, one for the menu and emails subjects, another one for the menu with the green background.

Cheers,
Vincent.

Hi @londonuk371, this seems very strange, I cannot reproduce this issue. Which version of Thunderbird are you using?

However, for resolve your issue try to add this code at the end of themes/monterail.css (this is only for the alt menu, let me know if it works):
#navigation-toolbox .menubar-text{ color: #f8f8f8 !important; }

@conema
Ok, almost done. What I had to comment and add in the file themes/monterail.css:

#navigation-toolbox .splitmenu-menuitem label, menucaption label, .chromeclass-toolbar menu label, .chromeclass-toolbar menuitem label, .chromeclass-toolbar .splitmenu-menuitem label, .chromeclass-toolbar menucaption label {
    /*color: var(--monterail-text-color) !important;*/
    color: #f8f8f8 !important;
}

.toolbarbutton-1, .toolbarbutton-menubutton-button, #composeToolbar2{
     /*color: var(--dark-text-color) !important;*/
     color: #f8f8f8 !important;
}

I miss only the icons in white on writing a new mail in the popup, which are grey (almost invisible):

[conema]

@londonuk371 For icons:

• The rows from 34 to 39 included, should be commented in userChrome.css
• monterail.css should include ../icons/lightDarkIcons.css (usually in row 27)

However there should not be these problems. Which version of Thunderbird are you using?

[sklaes]

Replacing the following at the end of monterail.css:
.toolbarbutton-1, .toolbarbutton-menubutton-button, #composeToolbar2{ color: var(--dark-text-color) !important; }
with
.toolbarbutton-1, .toolbarbutton-menubutton-button, #composeToolbar2{ color: #f8f8f8 !important; }
fixed the main issue

using latest monterail and Thunderbird 52.6.0

my menu bar is still grey, with a black font

[londonuk371]

@conema Yes, sorry forgot to reply about the version of Thunderbird. My version is 52.6.0 (32 bits). Might be the last as I do all automatic updates.

@sklaes If you have this trouble by clicking on Addresses to see all collected addresses, there are icons but no text right to icons:

I modified the last css block to 2 blocks:

.toolbarbutton-1, .toolbarbutton-menubutton-button {
    color: var(--dark-text-color) !important;
}

#composeToolbar2 {
    color: #f8f8f8 !important;
}
