I am running in a new problem. Being old fashioned I still like
seamonkey because it offers browswer+mail.
However the fonts, especially of the summary lines in mail are very
small. I changed all the fonts I can think of, first in seamonkey and
then in the trinity setting but no result the fonts size in the message
itself I can change but not of the summary buffer.
Anybody has an idea?
Regards
Uwe Brauer

I just checked in ubuntuu (gnome) I can using the gnome-tweak tool
enhance the fonts, but trinity seems not to influence the seamonkey
fonts (and of course I changed these also)

TDE is not. You can sort of control GTK themes from the Trinity
Control Center by installing gtk3-tqt-engine and gtk-qt-engine, but
these are buggy and can cause other problems.
The other options are to find a desktop-agnostic GTK themer
(if such a program exists), or hand-editing GTK theme files.

Seamonkey and the other Firefox-family browsers are GTK-based.
TDE is not. You can sort of control GTK themes from the Trinity
Control Center by installing gtk3-tqt-engine and gtk-qt-engine, but
these are buggy and can cause other problems.

I use Seamonkey for only one thing, which is a very obscure and hard-to-find
blog. I did notice that the fonts are rather small for the general gui, but
for the pages themselves I use css to force my preferences -- fonts were one
of my headaches at the time -- and this was on recommendation of the
maintainer of the network.
So I don't know much about it, and might be completely off-base, but if a css
solution would work, I'd be glad to share mine, or find out more about it.

Suppose I install them, do you know which commands take care of the
configuration?

gtk3-tqt-engine might even supersede gtk-qt-engine. If you're going to
try this, install gtk3-tqt-engine alone first.

Installing the gtk-qt-engine was sufficient for Ubuntu 16.04 I hope the
same is true for Ubuntu 20.04 (but it might rely on qtk3 and then I am
not sure how to proceed, but I will have to try it out.
Thanks for your help

SeaMonkey has been the only email client I've ever used since the name change from
Mozilla Suite to SeaMonkey. Before that I only used Mozilla Suite after Netscape 4
went out of support. My first ever email client was Netscape 2. Since SeaMonkey
was actually the Netscape Inc. internal codename for Netscape the
browser/email/composer/address book suite, it actually turns out SeaMonkey is the
only email client I've ever used (not counting webmail), 23 years so far.
All that said, which SeaMonkey *are* you using, version and source (package
manager vs. mozilla.org)? Exactly which where you using before the current problem
manifested?
What does "inxi -GMSay" report (you'll get error messages if not using the
latest
or a very very recent version from upstream, currently 3.1.06)?
What does "dpkg-query -l | grep -i gtk | sort" report?
All that said, I'm not using SeaMonkey Mail in TDE, but in KDE3 on openSUSE, where
I have 2.53.4 (browser & CZ) and 2.49.5 (browser & mail) running 24/7/365 give or
take. I do have TDE running on lots of other installations on other hardware, but
I don't use any web browsers on them very often, and virtually never do email
except with this my primary box.
That said, what WFM might work for you, once we know what your environmental
details are. One stopper could be Gnome/GTK's insistence on setting Xft.dpi to 96
unless explicitly overridden (it's Gnome's scaling device), which doesn't
happen
in openSUSE (unless maybe running Gnome, which I never do, and shouldn't affect
TDE anyway), and could be your only problem.
It's probably going to be best that you change all your fonts customizations back
to whatever they started at before making any suggested changes to come after I
see your answers.
Your OP as I see it (using a 24" 1920x1200 screen):

Note that it shows you didn't send it using SeaMonkey Mail.
