About this Add-on
Update: I have been struggling for years to find up to date documentation for Thunderbird Add-ons in one place. This makes the development painful, not fun and very time consuming, which I do not have. I hope I will have in the future.
I welcome anyone to show me the central point to find developers documentation in Thunderbird. So far, no luck.
This addon add a dropdown menu to the format toolbar inside the compose window, to quickly highlight the current selection.
Standard colours are configured: yellow, cyan, green, pink, red, and also light and dark grey.
This first version is basic, but should be sufficient for the majority of users.
Once you have chosen an highlight colour in the drop down menu, you can just click on the button again to use the last colour.
To remove the highlight state of a block, simply click inside the block, and select clear from the dropdown menu. To remove the highlight state of many blocks at once, select the block that contains all highlighted elements, and select the clear entry in the drop down.
The source code for the last version can e downloaded on github.
