How do you change open message icon which appears exactly the samy as Main window in Windows task window . What I mean is when you have one message open then use Alt Tab to go between the main window and message open window - the icons are the same.Please helpbb

You cannot use a different icon. This is because the windows have the same internal id, causing them to use the same icon file. The issue has been reported to the developers, but no one seems to be working on it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340003I think you can fix this by hacking your installed version of Thunderbird, but I am not sure. If you would like to try, reply here and I will provide more details.

Thanks I hope that someone will pick on it as it is a basic flaw. I have used PMmail for 10 years and that wasable to use different icons.In fact I have found on web an open message icon for T bird but it must be fo another op systemAnyway if I want to try to fix it do I need the source code to hack it or is it using the current inbuilt editing tools?bbbb

You do not need the source code — you could do it that way, but compiling the source is complicated. You only need a jar tool or zip tool to open the installed .jar files and edit inside them. I use 7-zip, but there are many others.
