How To Enlarge Type Size In Thunderbird
Whatsoever take chances to adjust the font size EVERYWHERE in this ridiciously shrinked layout of Thunderbird 68.i.0? Theme Font & Size Changer is to no avail anymore.
Sorry, just what the heck happened? You removed css, so layout.css.devPixelsPerPx is gone, likewise.

Nifty, Toad-Hall! Thanks a lot, indeed.
I just did this and it worked, so cheers! But the airs of these coders, or else ignorance, boggles the imagination. "I use 1920 10 1080 and everything looks ok." Aforementioned rez here just 8pt/px text is RIDICULOUS! And to take to create and edit a CSS file while ok for me is across the patience. People will go back to browser e-mail.

Changing pixels to 1.50 worked for me. Thunderbird should check the current resolution, if necessary, to make certain information technology displays equally well as any other app. Please fix this bug.

I did the css pixel edit the UI responded nicely. Simply inside the emails I still go some where the text is tiny, like 7 or eight point. Maybe there'south some setting that overrides the sender's font size?

Yeah, there'southward an option to change only the mail text size. Menu > Tools > Options > Display > Formatting > Fonts&Colors > Size . And there is besides Carte > Tools > Options > Limerick > General > HTML > Size.
Also, email text size tin be changed by Ctrl+Mouse Cycle, if you lot happen to take a Mouse Wheel. There may be a keyboard equivalent for this.
All of these are independent of the Tiny Font Fix that uses the Config Editor.
Such complex design!

Menu > Tools > Options > Display > Formatting > Fonts&Colors > Size . And there is also Menu > Tools > Options > Composition > General > HTML > Size.

I've been in that location, done that. I have Menu > Tools > Options > Display > Formatting > Fonts&Colors > Size set to 22 for my old optics on my 23" 1920x1080 and it fails to exercise anything for the offending emails.

For the fonts in letters: Options/Display/Formatting/Fonts & Colors/Advanced, set the Sizes and fonts with Fonts for: Latin and repeat with Fonts for: Other Writing Systems. Uncheck 'Allow messages to use other fonts'.
Do non modify the Options/Composition settings from their defaults.
For the fonts in messages: Options/Display/Formatting/Fonts & Colors/Avant-garde, ready the Sizes and fonts with Fonts for: Latin and repeat with Fonts for: Other Writing Systems. Uncheck 'Allow messages to employ other fonts'. Do not change the Options/Composition settings from their defaults.
If cipher else works, including the size settings in Windows, you lot'll but have to reduce the resolution setting for your monitor. This will take the effect of making everything larger but displaying less (fewer pixels) on the screen. Information technology's an unavoidable eventual tradeoff if your eyes are old, like yours and mine.

I only tried Ctrl+Mouse Wheel, didn't need to wait, worked, thanks!

OK I only ready it up that way, at 22, for Latin and Other. So I looked at some former emails that show in 8. They still did.

I agree. I'thou pretty smart about stuff but I am Not a programmer and this is ridiculous. I contribute $$ where I can instead to developers, etc. But I have no friggin' idea nearly how to do this and meanwhile I can't read diddly on my laptop.

Ctrl+Mouse Bike seems to be the piece of cake manner. Information technology'd be nice if the coders would code a claw to make the Ctrl+Mouse Wheel result exist the default. Eh?

KateCamp: You lot need to provide information on what exactly is the problem. If y'all need help and so y'all must be explicit in stating where you experience the trouble and the respond depends upon that information. It is besides a good idea to say what Bone you are using.
Font size effects various parts and some are easily gear up in Options > Display as mentioned by sfhowes. If the problem is a full general UI including folders, message list , menus etc issue so utilise the instructions to access 'about: config' window via Options > Advanced to alter the pixel size. Total instructions are given in a previous comment by me and I suggest this might exist a proficient identify to beginning if you have a general UI issue. Some people may only want to alter eg: the Folder Pane, and then would need to create a 'userChrome.css' file in which case information you can copy can be provided equally a tailor made solution.
So almost options for tweaking what you lot want are already within Thunderbird. At no point does anything require any knowledge of programming or code. Just at the most information technology will crave you to be able to follow instructions, create folders, create and salvage files and copy and paste provided text. At that place are very few people who do not have those skills.
This question has a 'Chosen Solution' and also other solutions equally comeback in Options that recent versions take provided.
