Increase the height of Thunderbird 115 card view
I'm using Thunderbird 115. I changed to card view layout but I have a problem where the height of the row in card view is too small. See screenshot.
How do I increase the height of the rows or set some margin/padding etc so I can see the email subject properly. Please help.

Does it look better with View/Density set to Relaxed? You might also need to change View/Font Size.
It is slightly better when Density is set to Relaxed. How can this be set to even higher?

The above link gives the line height code for Table View. For Cards View, use this code:
/* threads pane card height */ .thread-card-container{ height: 60px !important; }
The solution in post is taking effect only in the table view. Is there any way to set height and font-size in cards view?
Add this line to the above code to set the font size:
font-size: 18px !important;
It takes effect only when I remove '[is="thread-row"]' tr selection.
This is my userChrome.css
@namespace html url("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml");
/* threads pane line height */ html|tr {
font-size: 24px !important; height: 95px !important; }
Edit: As of 2023, layout.css.devPixelsPerPx is no longer supported starting with version 115. Anything other than the default -1.0 may cause problems. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-115-supernova-faq#w_why-are-the-fonts-still-too-large-or-too-small-after-i-changed-the-density-and-font-size
Finally figured it out. The CSS selector is "thread-card"
The below CSS in userChrome.css with devPixelsPerPx set to 0.7 ( in config editor ) did the trick for me. The below is what suits in my display. For others, it will vary.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); @namespace html url("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml");
/* threads pane line height */
html|tr[is="thread-card"] {
font-size: 24px !important; height: 125px !important;
}
/* Global UI font */
- { font-size: 24px !important;
}

To make the sender bold in card view:
/* bold sender in card view */ .thread-card-container{ font-weight: bold !important; }
