Better dark mode. A global switch for threading and sorting! Monthly updates are ready for manual installs from the Thunderbird website. We show you how to make the change (and why some Linux users will need to wait) and all the features in 136.0

@MsDropbear42@infosec.space@thunderbird My #RSS feedreader got this a few hours ago. Am looking fwd to changing over, later this arvo. Been a long time coming...
@MsDropbear42 Excellent! We'd love to know what you think once you've gotten the chance to switch!
@MsDropbear42@thunderbird I did the upgrade [via d/l & parallel-install Release into my /opt/thunderbird_release/ directory], after ofc backing up my current t/b data. So far i like what i've seen, & applaud the improvements. I do like that it seems i can now uninstall the #DarkReader AO, given it's now redundant afaict. Unfortunately the #QNote AO is currently disabled as incompatible, so hopefully its Dev is still around & might update it soon.
With this version a TB icon has appeared in my KDE Plasma System Tray, but it seems to serve no purpose that i can discern. As i was typing this, i received a new email, but the S/T icon does not give any visual clue of a new unread email, which was the only purpose i thought it might have. Why does it exist? I think i shall manually hide it.
So far, as far as i can see, 136 continues the UI omission of 128 wrt management of Tab columns. Specifically, afaict, there is still no global way to apply a preferred column arrangement for one Tag, to ALL other Tags; one must tediously do it manually Tag by Tag, which is a PITA. The only columns global tool seems to pertain only to Folders, which is useless for peeps using a Tag not Folder paradigm.
