Colors/Themes
I did not like the gray background of read e-mails. The unread ones should be bold black as they were previously and the read ones should be on a white or lighter background. It is currently very confusing...

I was totally against this new format. I've been able to address many of them through the settings option. The one that I haven't been overcome is the white background when reading the email in full view, especially at night, it is overwhelming. Please give us the option to select different level of shading in this area.

Backgrounds. Blinding white doesn't do it for me.

New themes for personalizing inboxes instead of just standard black and/or white.

I dislike the light or dark appearance, light is to bright & dark is to dark, I like when I can add my own color like the old yahoo.

Add similar themes to the new version as there was before please. It made it easier for people to see read and unread messages in dark or light mode. Right now gray or not gray is not exactly making unread messages stick out.

In the former version of Yahoo, I uploaded my own background image, and I was able to make my email visually easy for my eyes to read. I'd like to be able to get my old background back or be able to upload my own image again. Thank you.

I do not like the looks of the new email at all. Previously, I was able to change the color background but I don't see that there's a way to do that again. I love pink and had a very pleasing look with that. The new look is disappointing and it's disappointing that you can't change the background color.

We will keep this in the main page, as we are getting a few questions on this. Yes, we have simplified our themes. We have no plans at this time in adding more themes/colors/backgrounds. We had a whole bunch, but a majority of our users stuck with the default color. The usage was too low and the upkeep was too much. We know not the answer you want, but we wanted to give you context. Thanks!

Add a couple of other colors that are easier on the eyes! Both the light & dark are really ******* my eyes!

Your choice of the new DARK black OR BRIGHT white background is giving me migraines - go back to colored background.

I strongly dislike the new layout/theme and wish there was a way to go back. The white is too bright and the black is too dark.

There is no place to select a color theme any longer so I have to live with a grey inbox? I followed directions in Help and it said there would be color circles in Settings. There are none. I also was annoyed that you can't adjust the font size in Settings any longer. There is no Small Medium Large to choose from any longer.

Before y'all upgraded to the new version. Yahoo had background or backdrop themes, for all the yahoo users could choose from. And the one I have, that gives me peace of mind. While indulging in yahoo, is the African Indigenous Serengeti, Tanzania background. So, I don't mind the new functions, just want to keep the backdrop please.

I do not care for the New Yahoo Mail. Since the change, I am unable to change my theme colors (I hate the color purple), I do not like the complete white background, the dark mode is too dark. I am unable to send any type of files, and most important since the change I have lost important contacts, their names and email addresses are gone. My signature is now in black instead of a color, which is required by my department. As I am unable to hear, I am unable to use a phone. Yahoo needs to have some type of email support contact. The so Chat Bot cannot answer the questions I am asking. Yahoo email is looking more like Gmail, which I do not care for either. Hotmail has too many bugs in the system.
