Lost zebra stripes after upgrade to Thunderbird 128.2.3esr
I recently upgraded to Thunderbird 128.2.3esr, and I no longer have the zebra stripes that alternate between my messages.
The userChrome.css file that appears in my profile's chrome folder is:
/* Light green, high-contrast zebra stripes in message list */
- threadTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row(odd) {
-moz-appearance: none !important; background-image: none !important; /* background-color:#99E02E !important;} */
background-color:#EEFFBB !important;}
/* background-color:#AED6F1 !important;} */
- threadTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row(selected) {
background-color:#45A1FF !important;}
Is there a reason that this no longer works? Can it be modified to restore the zebra stripes? Or is there an alternative code that will restore functionality?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you so much. If I want to set the alternate color to black, what do I need to do to adjust the text color? Much appreciated.

To set the alternate text colour, insert this into the code:
color: black !important;
To make the alternate colour a solid colour, replace the background-image line with:
background: lightgrey !important;
