Hello, i have tried this.
First I had to create the chrome folder, and then put the file on this folder.

Then when I restart TB, it behaves as if I had done nothing.

What I am doing wrong?

Thanks for your help

Thank you so much Rob !
It works great.

My problem was that i choosed the big icons option (in windows effects tab when you right click propreties on the desktop…) then TB will display big attachement icons !

With your tip, my problem is fixed.
Thanks again.

I recently allowed the update to latest version of TB.
Suddenly my attachment window (bottom of email that I am reading) was larger (1 inch instead 1/4 inch)
The above suggestions did not help.
I then used TB’s Options menu, Advanced Tab, then the Configure/Edit button
Use top box to filter for ‘attachment’
This is the line you are interested in -
mailnews.attachments.display.largeView
Right click the True value, and choose Toggle.
Close and save, and then remember me in your will

Thanks a lot guys! It’s working great, you’ve cured my big pain in the neck
By the way – if you want to see maximum of 3 rows of attachments, use 74px.

Caveat solved! If you use this definition you’ll get scrollbars to the right. Attach away.

/* Attachment pane at bottom of message window */
#attachmentView {
-moz-appearance: none !important;
height: 40px !important;
overflow: auto !important; }
