[Bug 586352] [NEW] new message announcements are unreadably light

[Peter Belmont]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

NOT EXACTLY A BUG
HUMAN FACTORS PROBLEM


When there are new messages (sorted by filters into folders),
the FOLDER NAMES which receive the new messages are COLORED.
This COLOR is MUCH TOO DIM for me to see.

This is use of color doubtless intended as helpful.
For me, it is DREADFULLY UNHELPFUL.

The color (apparently tied without recourse to the colors from
the system>preferences>appearance) is TOO LIGHT TO SEE.

RECOMMEND: 
    [1] underline folder-names with new messages 
    [2] give users a choice of color/underlining/blinking
             where that choice is WITHIN THUNDERBIRD ITSELF
             (with the other color choices which ARE provided)
