Description Frank Steinmetzger 2011-09-05 13:17:51 UTC

Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

Dear team

I’d like to request the addition of Folders with unread messages to the list of customizable fonts. The point being is to decrease the folder list’s use of horizontal space by replacing the default bold font with a normal font, but at a different colour.

Thanks for your consideration.

Reproducible: Always

+1 for this. At least an option to un-bold folder names with unread emails. There's already a (##) beside the folder when it contains unread messages, I don't see any compelling reason to bold the entry as well.

The requested functionality has been implemented and is available under Settings - Appeaarance.. 

You can now change the font weight for unread messages under Message List - Unread messages
You can change the color under Colors - Unread Message.
