    Dark Mode revisions are needed, bold text and unbold text appear to look the same. for example in normal mode a read message is no longer bold, while in dark mode it is impossible to distinguish between the two. Also the dark mode color does not play well with my partial color blindness and the normal mode the entire format is white causing eye strain... previous versions had a colored menu and only the message area was white... BRING THIS BACK. The former format was perfect, the text was great and now it is difficult for me to use the mail on my PC because of these small changes. Also, the message header or control panel in the message preview is too wide/Tall as it takes up too much space for no reason at all. Due to the format, I must zoom in to read the text, but zooming in forces me to open the message completely to minimize the amount of scrolling required when I did not have to previously. I've been using Yahoo mail for more than 20 years... I'm slowly being pushed away for your platform... these are not major issues, but they are easily corrected. Please for those of us who loved the old format, fix these issues and give us was to customize the look and feel so that bright white or dull gray background can be changed.

    Additionally, Previews of the message "topic" should able to be modified as with previous versions, meaning I should be able to choose between a single line or two line topic previews. I know you guys listen to your subscribers so please make these changes... Customization is huge, particular background color and text formatting. If night mode must be grey, choose a darker color. I'd prefer to have choices in dark mode... light gray, dark gray or black. I'm not big on message themes, but some customization is very beneficial to the user experience such as text or font size in general not necessary just when sending a message. With more than 20 years of using the platform and with experience using countless others including Gmail, Proton, etc., Yahoo has always had the best format. Now suddenly you've become just as generic as the rest. You still have a a large marketshare, I'm afraid this latest move will threaten that. We're forced to have Gmail if we own an Android phone, but I hate it... Your new format has now become very similar to it. Please fix these issues and implement more customization.

    The dark mode color is not good for some of us who are partially color blind... while the inbox is similar to the original format and is an improvement over the previous iteration, it is still a challenge to look at without having to Zoom in. There's an old adage that says, "if it ain't broke don't fix it." I'm certain there were necessary changes that needed to be made, but you could've keep the same look after so many of us long time users who have been with you for multiple decades complained about. We're only still here because we dislike Google and Gmail... but now many of us will be reconsidering it due to the changes... the loss of the notepad, etc... Fix the formatting and keep some of your longstanding users... Thanks.
