Display quoted messages in colors as in Macos
I'm using Thunderbird on Macos, Windows, and FreeBSD. There's one feature present in Macos version (without any addons installed or any configuration done!) - quoted parts of the messages are displayed in different colors, while on Windows and FreeBSD (and I guess linux) I only get the colored vertical bars to the left of the quoted parts. As this feature is really helpful when reading mailing lists messages with a lot of quoting involved, is there some hidden setting to enable this on non-Macos Thunderbird installations?
An example screenshot from Thunderbird 68.6.0 on Macos is attached.

This is possible with a userContent.css file, which adds the option to have distinct background colors if desired, and also for plain text messages. Create a subfolder of the profile folder named chrome, and in chrome create a new text file named userContent.css, save it as file type Cascading style sheet or Unspecified *.*. Paste this into the css file:
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml); /* message pane background color body {background-color: lightgray;}*/ blockquote[type=cite] { color: navy !important; background-color: RGB(245,245,245) !important; } blockquote[type=cite] blockquote { color: maroon !important; background-color: RGB(235,235,235) !important; } blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote { color: green !important; background-color: RGB(225,225,225) !important; } blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote blockquote { color: purple !important; background-color: RGB(215,215,215) !important; } blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote blockquote blockquote { color: teal !important; background-color: RGB(205,205,205) !important; } /* Quoted text colour for plain text */ span[_moz_quote="true"] { color: navy !important; } pre[_moz_quote="true"] { color: lightpink !important; }
