Reproduce removed header buttons in Thunderbird 78 (Message Header Toolbar Customize 2.0.6)

Message Header Toolbar Customize 2.0.6 is available for download.

This release includes a few new functionalities.

I think all the lost things in Thunderbird 78, regarding the header view toolbar, are reproduced by this update. If you have any improvements, please let me know.


Conversation, Tag and Forward As buttons

These header view buttons are removed from Thunderbird 78. I reproduce them by Message Header Toolbar Customize 2.0.6. The buttons work the same as they do in Thunderbird 68. The example is "Icon beside text" mode. Of course, the buttons can be shown with "Icon only" mode when you choose it.


After you install v2.0.6, these buttons are added automatically but they are hidden by default. Please open customize window and configure buttons you want to use as shown. You can move them where you want to place, too.


Note:
  • The "Forward" button is shown as "Forward As" in the list above in order to distinguish between original "Forward" button and new one. On the other hand, the text in the toolbar is "Forward" for both.
  • Conversation button is always hidden in the message window (open with new window), regardless the configuration. This is because the window cannot open conversation by a tab. This behavior is the same as Thunderbird 68; you can put the button to the toolbar but never shown.


Select multiple items in the list

There is one more improvement. You can select multiple items in the list of customize window by Ctrl+left-click/Shift+left-click. You can move them at once. You also can toggle hidden state for them. 

For example, if you want to show the newly added three buttons, select them as follows and click show button.



Other things

  • When you opened customize window for message window, the "Show:" list was initialized by messenger(main) window's configuration. Now it is fixed.
  • Buttons of customize window are disabled when they do not work for a context. For example, when you select top item of the list, Up button will be disabled.
