Easy toggle for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx setting?

Is there an easy way to toggle between two settings for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx without having to go into Config Editor and manually changing it each time?

Like many others, the Thunderbird default font size is too small for my eyes on my home setup. I have the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx manually adjusted to 1.5. However, my main computer is a laptop, and I occasionally take it with me. Without my external monitor, 1.5 on layout.css.devPixelsPerPx is not readable on my built in laptop monitor, and I have to adjust it.

Thanks in advance.

Ok, you may need to reset the pixelsperpx back to default if you use this approach. Here goes: In config editor set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true to allow use of the chrome folder. In profile, add folder named chrome (lower-case) In folder, add file named userChrome.css (case-sensitive In that simple text file, add the following: /*

* Make all the default font sizes 16 pt:
*/
  • {

font-size: 16px; !important } Adjust pt to your preference. I think this will allow consistency across both computers. You may still need to use View>font size to adjust message view pane.
