The Thunderbird developers are moving to a new user interface code base for Thunderbird 115 and Thunderbird 102 is the last version that will work with the historical userChrome.css customizations. The userbase for Mozilla products has continually shrunk over the past few years and the chances of equivalent customization abilities being discovered and written about strike me as pretty low.  Because of the change, I have mirrored Thunderbird 102.14 for Windows and Linux in 64-bit and 32-bit versions in the event that the old versions disappear from the Mozilla site. The Source is available on the Mozilla mirror as of August 11, 2023.  The releases are located here.

The userChrome.css below allows the following persistent tag colors.  It also contains text customization for the interface.  And it contains alternate row highlighting, where one row is light grey and the other white.  The alternate row highlighting conflicts with the background colors for tags.  One must choose which feature to have. The userChrome.css goes in the profile directory in a subfolder called chrome.

The code for highlighting the tag backgrounds was found on a French website located here. E.g. C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\1a2b3cde.default-release\chrome
