Alright, so there is a "very good reason"(tm) for the ugly folder icons.

Scalable icons to work better with HiDPI monitors and dark modes.

I still don't like it though.

That said, you can now change the icon color, so that's something I can work with.

I wish i could do something about the line spacing though...

@matt nice colours 😎👍

@brandon Here's the thing though. I've had the same Thunderbird profile for 10 or 15 years. Literally copied my Thunderbird folder from one computer to the next and persistently used it.

I am not willing to redo all of my settings that I have spent over a decade tweaking to my liking, not when it has looked exactly how I wanted for the last 5 or so.

@matt I mean if it's a default setting that you hadn't changed, how much of a difference should that make? Or are you worried they're going to change other things too?

@brandon naw not even close to default settings, where permitted within the options anyway

@matt @brandon i like the new update. Mine looks different as i'm using a dark theme (probably the default dark theme? too lazy to check) but i don't mind the icons or any other theme related changes. The first thing i noticed with the update is that my Tbird is faster. Way to go #thunderbird devs!

@ITwrx @brandon dark themes always seem to break for me on Thunderbird. I've decided I'll stick to a light theme
