How to avoid dark mode ?

more options

I love Thunderbird. It is fast, robust and efficient. But now, every time I launch the app, it is in dark mode and it is difficult for me to use it because of my terrible eyes. How can I turn off dark mode ?

I use Thunderbird on Fedora 41 Gnome. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello Arlev,

The OS was not on "Dark Mode activated".

I found the source of the problem : last week-end, I installed Cinnamon Desktop to test it. After that, each time I opened a session (in Gnome, Gnome Classical or in Cinnamon), Thunderbird was in Dark Mode. Some of Cinnamon's packages was blocking Thunderbird in Dark Mode. I remove Cinnamon Desktop and everything is OK now.

Thank your for your help.

Have you got the 'Dark Mode' set on the OS? TB settings are at Settings/General/Language and Appearance/Colors
