Changing html link color in Thunderbird

Hi,

I'm using Vertex-Dark theme on Ubuntu 16.04 with XFCE and pretty much everything looks great.

However, html links within thunderbird retain their blue (unvisited) and purple (visited) colors, making them look bad on the dark background.

Example image

Any ideas on how to change this?

I tried changing the link-color variable in /usr/share/themes/Vertex-Dark/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and various ':link' variables in /usr/share/themes/Vertex-Dark/gtk-3.0/gtk.css, but neither seem to work.

Re: Changing html link color in Thunderbird

Thunderbird allows you to configure these colours from within it's preferences: Preferences > Display > Colors.

LOL, I totally forgot to check the easiest option...

Thanks for the reminder!
