Yes. I'm just surprised your friend wants a different font size in Thunderbird than in the rest of his system.
Restart Thunderbird 68 - that's it-What this small files will fix/change: 1. Font size of the listed emails in your inbox will be increased. Unread messages are listed in warm orange: 3. The buttons in the message header will also be in warm orange (background) 4. In Thunderbird, you can set custom font faces and sizes for reading plain-text e-mails. However, Thunderbird sometimes 'randomly' does not respect your choices. This is actually not a bug, but a rather weird feature: Fonts are defined per encoding of e-mails. Some e-mails will be considered Unicode, some Western (ISO 8859-1), and some maybe yet. Those using Thunderbird and are bugged by fonts too small this easy font size and theme changer works very well indeed. (Works in Firefox browser too if you are using that) Theme Font Size Changer:: Add-ons for Firefox To install manually simply download and in Thunderbird / Firefox simply load add on from file and point to downloaded file.

Thanks A.
I'm not VI myself, but my VI friend got to the answer before I did! Ihad created userchrome.css in my thunderbird profile folder, and addeda selector like this:
treechildren:-moz.....(args) {font-size:150%!important}
which only affected the root folder for each email account. I wastrying to identify the right selector for the message headers, but myVI friend -- whose not techie -- simply added 'treechildren{font-size:150%}' and hey presto...
So problem solved and hats off to my friend, eh?
I think there's a theme developer's newsgroup -- they mightknow.
In the meantime if you're VI yourself and want it to work,try using the system theme to set your Tbird theme. You canstill use a separate theme, but at least the font sizeshould inherit from the system theme unless the Tbird themeexplicitly sets it.

Thanks Aaron, I was referring to Thunderbird themes in my first post. Idiscovered that userchrome.css can be used to change the look of thefolder tree (for example). And most of the links I found on this topicrefer to a very elusive userchrome-example.css -- elusive becausegoogle returns lots of pages that mention this file, but none where youcan download the file.

I think what I require is the name of the selectors in userchrome.cssthat control the message list and folder tree.
