I am trying to get TB (102.10.1) to use my system colors for

  1. navigation-toolbox-background {background: AccentColor !important;}

I've used AccentColor in Firefox for...

  1. TabsToolbar, #navigator-toolbox, #tabs-newtab-button, #titlebar toolbarbutton:not(:hover):not(:active), #scrollbutton-up:not(:hover):not(:active), #scrollbutton-down:not(:hover):not(:active), .titlebar-color {
   background: AccentColor !important;
   color: AccentColorText;
   fill: AccentColorText !important;

}

...but I'm doing something wrong in TB. Please let me know the proper usage for TB. Thank you for taking a look at this.

Try this to apply the accent colour to the Unified and Menu Bars, and the tab bar (see picture):

#navigation-toolbox {background-color: AccentColor !important;}


The automatic application of the accent colour to the bars was removed in TB 128.2.2.

If the Menu Bar is enabled, you might need to make it more visible:

/*  Menu Bar colours  */
menubar > menu:hover {
     background-color: orange !important;
     color: black !important;
     font-weight: normal !important;
}

menubar > menu {
     color: white !important;
     font-weight: normal !important;
}


Edit: Realizing you are on 102, I tested the code and it still works, but the accent colour is already applied to the toolbars with the TB system theme. The accent colour is set in Windows Settings, and can be automatic or manual.

Thank you sfhowes for your help. It looks like my problem is I'm using a Portable version so it's not using the Windows colors as default. I installed it on another PC and it is using the Windows colors without any CSS as you pointed out. Is there a work around for Portable installs to get it to use system colors like an "normal" install would?

I don't have a portable version, but if it can apply a userChrome for other modifications, it should be able to apply the navigation-toolbox code that works in the standard version. Test with some css that produces an obvious change, like this that makes the scrollbar orange and grey in 102:

scrollbar {
  -moz-appearance: none !important;
    background: orange !important;
    width: 15px;
    scrollbar-color: grey orange;
}


Check that toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets is true in Config. editor.

In general, the custom CSS is working. navigation-toolbox-background {background: blue !important;} works but navigation-toolbox-background {background: AccentColor !important;} does not. A fresh "normal" install of 102.10 uses the Windows colors for that menu area but a fresh Portable install does not, it's gray. I'm guessing the Portable version isn't looking or can't find system settings because of how it is installed. This does not seem to be a Thunderbird issue so I posted on PortableApps https://portableapps.com/node/71642 but don't have a response yet.

I think you have to use the code in my first reply with background-color: AccentColor
