I just did the newest update on Thunderbird. After I did so my selected message highlight color changed to lime green. I looked all through my setting etc. and I can't figure out how to change it. How do I change my selected message highlight color?

Thanks for the help!

The colour of the highlight and other elements, such as the New Message button, take the Windows colours if the System Theme is selected in the add-ons manager. To apply the standard TB colours, use the Light Theme.

To set the colour, independent of theme, see this topic:
