I skimmed through the features and was very excited for the dark mode announcement. But that quickly went down the drain when I couldn't find how to force it from the setting, because I'm using i3wm, and there's no "dark mode" per se.
The other thing I'm wondering about is how this will integrate with OpenGPG, more specifically if it will allow the use with smartcards. And it looks like it planned ![1]
Great work Team Thunderbird. Been a fan for the past 5 years, will be for the foreseeable future.

Thus far it has not been a disappointment. No welcome screen, no problem, there is an option for that. You don't want stuff to be compacted every time it starts, no problem; change one value to false. If only most programs were like that today.
- Legogris 6y agoThunderbird is GTK. Does it not work if you configure a dark GTK theme?

- commotionfever 6y agotry set your GTK theme to a dark variant. eg start thunderbird with GTK_THEME=<theme>:dark in my case it's GTK_THEME=Arc:dark
- aneutron 6y agoThanks ! That works wonderfully !
- omertuchfeld 6y agoI suggest you also install lxappearance to set the theme globally
