The Stylish extension is a user style manager: “Stylish is to CSS what Greasemonkey is to JavaScript, and unlike other methods of using user styles, most styles take effect immediately.”

When you have installed Stylish, you can follow the instructions on Thomas’s web site to download some pre-made label styles that will turn your Thunderbird labels from this in to this:

And it’s not just a Mac-only solution as Thomas notes:

The new labels code has been tested in Thunderbird 1.5 and 2.0 on Mac and works great. It should work fine under Windows and Linux too.

The icons which come in silver, black, red and blue, include the classic Mail.app stamp icon, a letter box, an envelope and an “icard”.

I am pretty confident that the animal in the icons is a leopard although at first sight I thought it was one of those wicked flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz.

If you fancy one of these, changing Mail.app’s default icon is easy.

The icons are freeware and are available in the Downloads section of Apple’s web site.mail.app, apple mail, address book, icons, stylish, letterbox, envelope, leopardSimilar Posts:
