From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Restore Thunderbird's previous look (apollo.town)

Thunderbird 115 introduced a new look. I hate it. Not only does it no longer fit in with KDE Plasma, it lost functionality due to it's new integrated search bar in the title bar.

So I went on a mission to fix it.

To restore the regular title bar:

Go into Settings > General > Language & Appereance and uncheck the Hide system window titlebar

To remove search bar:

Toggle toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in Config Editor (bottom of Settings)

Find your profile directory via Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory (or about:profiles in same page)

This directory should have lots of files e.g. prefs.js and places.sqlite

Create directory chrome Inside that folder, create a file named userChrome.css with the below content:

#unifiedToolbar {
  display:none !important;
}

Restart Thunderbird

Enjoy!

It's sad that you hate it. It's good that you found a way to fight against change.

I will however admit that I didn't consider Thunderbird ac an alternative for my email management prior to v.115. Now I find it finally not ressembling a Windows 98 email client and really like it.

imo i liked the fact that it looked like Windows XP-era Outlook (not that i used it), i just liked the simplicity of it and the legibility. With 115 now it just seems poorly put together.

for instance, the buttons for messages have now moved to the pane where your accounts and folders are, Get messages is now just a little cloud icon in the left, and New message gets all the spotlight for some reason. it just looks like someone just slapped things together with no rhyme or reason, it's inconsistent.

i liked the prior spaces update because you could just hide it into a little toolbar. Now they have a bar that when you get rid of it, it just messes with the position of the window buttons. not a good look imo.

it's still a good client though.
