I've been using Thunderbird as my e-mail client for a while now - it's great. It recently (last few days (today = 5/10/23)) did an automatic upgrade. With the new version the basic font size was smaller. So the lists of all e-mails in inbox, sent box etc etc were in a smaller font than before. I find them a bit small for reading.

I googled how to change this and found a page that said to to Settings... search for EditorConfig and then change the parameter

layout.css.devPixelsPerPx

This was set at -1.0 (note negative sign)

I tried changing it to 16.

A MISTAKE! Now everything Thunderbird related is huge! On my screen I can only see the menu items File Edit View - these now fill the whole width of the screen. Thunderbird has become unusable. I attach a screen shot of my whole screen....

I can't seem to move the window contents around so I can't get anywhere near the Settings menu item.

Because I can't see anything of any value, I cant get back to Settings to change the configuration back.

Two questions:

a) is there a way to change this setting back to -1.0 without using Thunderbird (eg my manually editing a text file or the windows registry)?

b) is this the right way to increase the basic font size used by the Thunderbird user GUI?

Regards, Roger

Exit thunderbird - locate prefs.js in profile. This is a simple text file so use Notepad or similar text editor - locate your layout.css.dev.. entry with 16. Carefully change it to something such as 2 and save - restart and assess

Hi David, Super ! This has worked. Actually 2 is way too big as well - but it did allow me to make further adjustments using the Settings | Config Editor route from within Thunderbird. I have ended up using 1.1 Really appreciate your fast and 100% accurate response. Regards, Roger
