Thunderbird Labels colors - change background color instead of text color

[dhoitink]

Hi, Please add a feature so TB changes the background color of a label, instead of the text color it self. This would be far better to spot the different between the different labels.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

currently the label is displayed the opposite of how it should, let me explain: when an email is labeled, it appears in the list among the others as in figure label-1 while it should appear as in figure label-2. When you do not click on the labeled email it remains almost invisible among the other emails while it becomes clearly evident if you click on it and select it. The label display should always be as if it were clicked on so that the associated label is clearly evident. This change has already been requested/evidenced by many other users who find the application of labels really inefficient the way it is set up now. In case more options should be added for color management and label behavior that never existed on Thunderbird.
