Why is Thunderbird not customisable anymore?
I have just installed Thunderbird, and find that it completly lacks customisation. I cannot alter the colour of the background of the inbox, or the size of the font. The only choice I have is to install a dark background. This has gone backwards, as the previous versions were much better. Unfortunately due to having migraines with white backgrounds, which seem to overwrite other settings on my PC, I am going to have to uninstall. Disappointing, as it used to be an excellent programme. Do you plan on correcting this issue in the near future?

Customization by way of themes or other add-ons is not as easy as it was before TB 68, but it's still possible to modify just about every part of the interface with the application of Cascading Stye Sheets (css). See this topic for several examples.
To change the background color for the Threads and Folder Panes, add this userChrome.css:
#folderTree,
#threadTree
{
background-color: #D3D3D3 !important;
color: black !important;
}

Thanks for your help sfhowes, it's appreciated. I'm not very technical I'm afraid, but I will certainly have an attempt to sorting this out tomorrow to see if I can figure out how to use CSS and apply it.
perhaps you should change the theme in the addon manager (it is on the appmenu) to the dark theme where you actually get a dark grey background.
