Wasted line in 125 Cards View

Wisewiz — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 16:19:14 GMT

The so-called Cards View was one of the bragging points of the 115 Supernova, and now it's completely messed up, with the star taking up (and wasting) an entire line of the display. Please put it back the way it was from 115.0 to 115.10.

I totally agree! Have you found a way to revert to the previous setting? I hate those new "cards"!

Love the cards, but hate that a start takes up an entire line of the 3 lines permitted. Either allow for 4 lines in cards view, allow text wrapping so that text can appear to the left of the star, or move the start up next to the date and time on the first line.

Thanks for the response! Can you please help clarify...should I download the Beta release to get this feature? I'm not seeing customizable row count for Cards View in "Appearance" settings, I only see the option for 2 or 3 lines.

To clarify, I love the cards view, but really dislike that even with 3 lines selected, a "star" takes up an entire line of the 3 lines permitted. Would be much better if either: (a) allow for 4 lines in cards view, (b) allow text wrapping so that text can appear to the left of the star, and/or (c) move the "star" up next to the date and time on the first line, which would allow text from the email to use the third line.

Perhaps you could clarify your version of Thunderbird you are using.
