Thunderbird - working font and size changer addon

Hi folks
*deleted* as it's broken again.
However in Linux VM's / hosts you can adjust the appearance of gtk3 apps which changes fonts etc in the tiny menu bar titles and the email lists etc. (system settings-->appearance-->application style).

In Windows I think that you have to alter the global size of fonts etc - but then that effects everything.

Some of these developers have never used large screens obviously because on these screens a lot of things are just TINY !!!! TINY --- please developers use adjustable font sizes in your apps these days.

Cheers
jimbo

I'm using the Theme Font & Size Changer add-on for Thunderbird in Windows and it works quite well to get fonts to an easily readable size on my 3840x2160 monitor.
