  • Claws Mail

    From Johnny@21:1/5 to All on Wed Nov 9 16:09:41 2022
    The message view in Claws Mail has a very bright white background.

    Is there anyway to change the background color?

    I sometimes use Claws Mail but haven't tried to change that, but
    maybe in preferences/Display/Themes there might be a theme that
    works better for you.

    It looks like you probably have to find the theme yourself as, at
    least my install, only comes with the Default Theme.

    Perhaps you could change the theme of your desktop environment to a dark background? Dark "modes" are all the rage these days.

    I was asking the question for someone else. He is already using a dark
    theme. He simply wanted to change the white background of the message
    window in which it's read to a darker color like tan.

    Claws will allow you to change the color of the quoted message, but not
    the background of the message itself. Which I think is ridiculous.
    Who cares what color the quoted message is, it's not going to be read
    again.
