Change "Unread email" color...again!

Helium2
Making moves

I had finally found how to change to color of unread emails from blue to a color (called tomato) that was easily detected when I scan my email folders.

I finally found how to edit the "chrome" file and the updates generally left this adjustment alone.

With the newest ( for me) version 115.6.0 I'm back to the annoying Thunderbird Blue color. Due to the massive changes in the UI I don't know if I have the expertise to regain that red color.

Can someone who understands the current Thunderbird 115.6.0 provide me with instructions for this change?

Hello

Color of folders with unread messages ?
https://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=14959758#p14959758
I've tested

 

.unread > .container > .name,
.new-messages > .container > .name {
  color: red !important;
  font-weight: bold !important;
}
#folderTree:focus-within li.selected.unread > .container > .name,
#folderTree:focus-within li.selected.new-messages > .container > .name {
  color: lime !important;
}

.new-messages > .container > .name {
  color: red !important;
  font-weight: bold !important;
}
#folderTree:focus-within li.selected.unread > .container > .name,
#folderTree:focus-within li.selected.new-messages > .container > .name {
  color: lime !important;
}

/* Change the color of the "bubbles" (Unread) in the folder panel */
:root {
 --folderpane-unread-count-background: orchid !important;
 --folderpane-unread-new-count-background: limegreen !important;
}
