Thanks for making Changelogger available for Thunderbird #14!

Now it shows as a button with icon and text in the main toolbar. Would it be possible to make a configuration option to remove the text, to make it smaller? Or even better make a dot on the hamburger menu to draw the attention to it and then have a menu item showing the changes?

But please rest assured, that I still like it!

I found a solution: I noticed by accident, that I can move the icon from the main toolbar to a place near the ‘Switch to the calendar tab’, the ‘Switch to the tasks tab’ and ‘Switch to the CardBook tab’, which can be found near the tabs.

That's a clever solution. I know you can put icons there in Firefox, but I didn't know you could but them there in Thunderbird.

As far as removing the text from the icon, it can be done, but there is a required minimum amount of whitespace after the icon when the icons are set to "Icons beside text".

I'm not sure if it would be worth it to allow changing the title of the toolbar when moving it one toolbar up makes it take up so much less space.

There is a method to make the icon appear on the tabstrip by default when installed (the browser_action.default_area manifest key), but it only works on Firefox and not Thunderbird.

There is another add-on with the same problem: fastaddons/ScrollAnywhere#32 and the corresponding bug on mozilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1696147 (which sadly got no reply from the Thunderbird developers).
Maybe you both can join forces?
