The latest gimick on macos is that if you set your os theme to dark then apps will follow suit, which doens't play well with thunderbird.

Running

defaults write mozilla.thunderbird NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool yes

Is supposed to make thunderbird go into perma-light mode which it does't. The most servicable result I have is running thunderbird using the light theme but that doesn't hide all of the dark mode theme changes and so I'm currently writing my emails white on black which is not nice.

Try this:

Select the dark theme in Thunderbird

Preferences > General scroll to the very bottom click on 'Config Editor' button right click the list > New > Integer Name the preference: ui.systemUsesDarkTheme click on OK Set the value to 0 click on OK

This should offer a light version in the Message Pane.

Note: the latest version of thunderbird is now out, so you could update to 78.1.0 and the devs have modified the Message Pane.
