I have just migrated to Mac from Windows and Linux. I imported all of my Thunderbird email over and have everything up and running. The one thing I can't figure out how to do is to configure the fonts that Thunderbird uses for its basic User Interface (UI) - the font it uses to show the list of email folders, the list of emails in a particular folder, the text labels on the buttons in the button bar and so on. Right now, it is using a pretty small font and I wish to increase the size. I tried the Mac method of View, Make Font Larger, but this just changes the font in the message window, but not these basic UI fonts.
The standard Mozilla method to change the UI fonts is to add a file called userChrome.css to the "chrome" directory of your profile folder. I have done this, and specified a font size that it quite large (20 pt), so that I would immediately know if it was working, but it is not.
Is there a Mac specific way of changing Thunderbird's UI fonts? If the userChrome.css way *is* the way to do it, could someone who has done this post an example? Perhaps I have the syntax messed up...
Thanks!
