Changing the theme of Thunderbird "search results"

Hi all,

I'm currently using a dark GTK theme and it's generally playing nicely with most things (thanks to a few tweaks to carious config files). However there one program which is still giving me problems: Thunderbird.

For the most part, it all looks good; I've modified userContent.css so that the emails are readable with my theme colours etc. However, if I use the "search" function (which I rarely do), or I select multiple emails by ctrl+clicking or shift+clicking (which I do occasionally), the search results are presented with a white background and blue text (which looks very 'default' to me). It's not so much of a problem, but as my standard text colour is a pale cyan, and the aforementioned results page uses that colour on links, there are a few parts which are hard to read.

I've scoured throuh the mozillazine knowledgebase in the hopes of finding the relevant section to tweak in (I suspect) userChrome.css, but I've drawn a blank. I suspected it might be some variant of treechildren, but I could not find any useful documentation. Can anyone help me out either with a suggested fix, or a link to some clear documentation on the full gamut of userChrome css selectors?

Thanks.

UPDATE: By using a DOM inspector add-on I was able to tweak a few bits of the interface, but it would seem that the search results are some generated HTML and neither userChrome.css nor userContent.css seem to have any effect on them.
