Hello,

Version 0.10 severly broke the display within Thunderbird 65.0 (Beta 2 – yes, I want to see what's coming…):

I can see light stripes in the left-most pane (with the accounts and folders) which is not the case with the add-on disabled.

On the other hand all colors are gone from the pane with the message list. Everything is black on white, and all colors/highlights (e.g. for messages with keywords added) are gone. That's rather unfortunate.

I'd prefer for "Mail Redirect" to focus on its core job (redirecting e-mails) and not trying to interfere with the interface and the layout of Thunderbird's GUI.

Thanks for having a look in this issue and fixing it. For now I had to disable the addon unfortunately.

I'm not aware of any changes Mail Redirect makes to the thread pane and I can assure that if they are made, they are not intentional trying to interfere with Thunderbird's GUI. I'm more trying to mimic Thunderbird's GUI in the Redirect window.
I suppose this issue is the same as reported in mozilla.support.thunderbird:

I see I add chrome://global/skin/global.css to messenger.xul, causing the folder pane to be striped. This has changed in version 0.10, because overlays aren't allowed anymore in Thunderbird, so instead of overlaying the overlays, I now have to overlay messenger.xul and messageWindow.xul. I'll move the stylesheet to the actual place where it is used, if it isn't already there.

Ah, good news that you've identified the problem! Thanks for taking care of that so quickly, I'll test version 10.0.2 as soon as it is out.

I guess you don't need an answer anymore to the question in the mail thread you referenced which asks about the OS, but in any case: I'm using Mail Redirect on Windows, where the issue appears as well (not only the Linx version).

If all is well, this issue is now fixed. Can you please verify with Mail Redirect 0.10.2? You can download it from here: https://mailredirect.sourceforge.io/installation.html
