thunderbird 3 userChrome.css hide icons

[xegroeg]

i want to hide all icons in thunderbird 3. i've changed the title bar to text only, but the folder tree and tabs i cannot. i was able to do this in firefox by creating a userChrome.css file and specifying what i want there.

the userChrome.css file doesn't work in thunderbird and i'm having trouble locating code examples particular to tbird.

any suggestions or other methods to achieve thunderbird iconlessness :D?

Hello, old self. Here ya' go. Please vi ~/.thunderbird/*/chrome/userChrome.css and insert:

/*
* Do not remove the @namespace line -- it's required for correct functioning
*/
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* set default namespace to XUL */

/* Kill all tab icons, no matter what */
.tabbrowser-tabs .tab-icon {
display: none !important;
}

.textbox-search-icon {
display: none !important;
}

.qfb-unread {
display: none !important;
}

.emailStar {
display: none !important;
}

/*treechildren::-moz-tree-image(flaggedCol) {
-moz-image-region: rect(0px 16px 16px 0px) !important;
}

treechildren::-moz-tree-image(flaggedCol, flagged) {
-moz-image-region: rect(80px 16px 96px 0px) !important;
}
*/

#throbber-box {
display: none !important;
}
/* Hide Tabbar close Button */
tabbrowser .tabs-closebutton-box {
display: none !important;
}

/* No Mail Folder Icons */
treechildren::-moz-tree-image(folderNameCol) {
margin-right: 0px;
list-style-image: none !important;
margin-left: -15px !important;
}

treechildren::-moz-tree-image(subjectCol) {
list-style-image: none !important;
}

#threadTree > treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(subjectCol) {
-moz-margin-start: -5px !important;
-moz-margin-end: 5px !important;
}

#threadTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row(odd) {
background-color: transparent !important;
}

#threadTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row(odd, selected) {
background-color: Highlight !important;
}


..and in ~/.thunderbird/*/chrome/userChrome.js:

// make account and folder names available to userChrome.css
with (document.getElementById("folderNameCell"))
setAttribute("properties", getAttribute("properties") + " name-?folderTreeName")
