Usability issues with the blue background for email headers
Is anything going to be done with this that I raised with a previous release of Thunderbird? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1022375
My comment still stands.
I had been running the version of Thunderbird prior to this change until last week and something screwed up with TB and I had to reinstall. I now have the wretched blue boxes that I had managed to avoid until last week.

I agree with you, so this is what I've done to get things closer to the original.
make hidden files and folders visible:
In Thunderbird
- Help > Troubleshooting Information
- click on 'show Folder' button
a new window opens showing contents of profile folders -
- Close Thunderbird now - this is important
- Create a new folder called chrome - note the spelling.
So in Profile folder looks like the first image below.
- Open Notepad
- Copy paste all the contents shown between the lines below into notepad and then save the file as userChrome.css (note the spelling) in the chrome folder.
- Close window - top right X
see second image.
- start Thunderbird
- click on 'Write'
