Hamburger sub menu is white text with white background

[meetdilip]

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

When we click the Hamburger menu, we get sub-menus for Addons, Tools etc. In this sub-menu there is a white background and almost white text. It is almost impossible to read them.

To Reproduce (if applicable)
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to ' Hamburger Menu'
2. Click on 'Tools / Addons'
3. You will see that both the text and background are of the same colour. Even we hover with mouse there is very small amount of readability

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Darker background colour or darker text would be legible.

Build information (please complete the following information):

• OS: [e.g. Ubuntu] Ubuntu 20.04.1
• Version [e.g. 60.1b] 68.10.0 (64 bit)

@conema Can you tell me the CSS changes / class which would fix this ? ie, where to change the background colour from white to something else. So that I can change it locally. Thanks.

[conema]

Hi @meetdilip, you'll need to edit:
.panel-header (box header, to change the background and color of the title)
.panel-subview-body (box content, the one which is white, to change only the bg)
.subviewbutton (text into the box, to change only the text color)

I think that you can add these edits directly in skin/messenger.css

I just tried in skin/messenger.css. But there is no match for subview or panel-header or any of the 3 classes you mentioned. I am not sure what to do. Thanks.

Sorry, my previous comment was not very clear, add this code at the end of skin/messenger.css:

.panel-header, .panel-subview-body, .subviewbutton  {
    background-color: var(--background-color);
    color: #fff;
}

The result should be this one:

Working 100 %. Thanks to you :)

Just to update you, this bug is fixed in the last commit, which also add the compatiblity for TB 78.x

[meetdilip]

Thanks. You are doing great. 👍

[conema]

Sorry if I bother you, I'd like to test the new update before releasing an official update, I saw that you are using Ubuntu. Could you install Thunderbird 78.x and try this new update to see if all is good?

Feel free to open a new issue if you find something that is broken.

Ty a lot.

[meetdilip]

Sure. No problem :)

@conema tried after installing v 78.2.2. When I search for Monterail, the search results show >68 plus entries but greyed out. Not able to add to v78.2.2.

Yep, it's not officially released. You can install it by using this file (to install it, from the addons page you need to click the gear and select "install addon from file") monterail-fulldark.zip
