  5. I want to change colors/theme on my mail

    I am really disappointed I can't do more than change light/dark. I was trying to turn off AI stuff, and somehow got switched to the "new yahoo mail" with no option to turn off shading for my read mail and no option to change colors. the Basic Mail isn't any better. what gives?

    Yes, we have simplified the colors on all our platforms as most of our users defaulted to the regular. So to keep maintenance down, decrease the size of our apps, we have decided to simplify our themes. Thanks for understanding!

  6. Bring back the option to change colors

    Bring back the option to select the background colors. The white and purple is so boring! And Dark mode isn't any better!

  7. New Yahoo Mail Issues.

    The preview area has shrunk massively ... This is a shot in the foot and makes an otherwise nice interface look lame and broken. Themes, we could change color on previous mailboxes to help distinguish which account is active. Now there is only a light and dark mode, why not colors back.

  8. Provide New "Appearance" Colors

    Dear Yahoo,

    Can you please add new Appearance choices for Color? There is currently a Light (White) or Dark (Black) option. It would be nice if you could allow Users to select from more Color options to make using this E-mail application visually pleasing, interesting, and friendly. I would appreciate your assistance and attention to this matter.

    Thank you.

    Very sorry! We have no plans in bringing back more themes or custom backgrounds. This was bulking our site and not being used. Very low usage, there we have no plans in bringing this back. Thanks for your feedback!

  10. Please return winter scenes to "seasonal". Not there now. PaperlessPost says this is your area not theirs.

    Same as above.

    I should not have to agree to the voice thing to get this idea through.

  12. All white or all black!!! 😨

    All that white is killing me! So is the dark black. Please give us a choice to insert an image in the background. Or give us some themes. That will also help making Yahoo mail more personalized. Thanx.

  14. COLOR - GIVE US BACK OUR COLOR

    The White is too blinding and the Black is too dark and depressing. What made you think that dropping all color or theme options was a good idea? Do you want your brand to disappear because we will all abandon you for Google? I don't want to do that - I WANT COLORSSS.

  16. Color options

    I’d like to have other options besides a page fully white or fully black. Other colors and gradations of those colors would be easier on the eyes and more pleasant for those who have preferences. If there is a way to do that now, please tell me how, for I haven’t found it. Thank you.

    I can't find Themes in the new settings and don't find the black and white as easy to use.

    More theme options. Light or dark theme options do not have enough variability for ease of use.
