I would like to change the folder pane background color in Thunderbird.

Can you please show me how:

(I know I need to do it into the userChrome.css file but just not sure how to do it.)

1. Change the default background folder pane color to my choice; 2. Also show me if it is it possibly to instead of a color have a picture in as the background?

Thanks

I suggest you have a look at this new theme. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/monterail/

and the bug that created it. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1325184

It is the only instance of an image in the background of any of the panes I recall seeing.

My userchrome has

#threadTree treecol, 
#threadTree
 {background-color: #E0FFFF	 !important;} */ 

Where #E0FFFF is the colour in hexadecimal
