Can we configure the new dark theme - some of the colours are very poorly chosen
I'm on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, and just upgraded TB to v68.2.1(32-bit for some reason), which contains the new dark theme.
Whilst I like the theme overall, some of the colours are very poorly chosen. For example, unread messages are shown in bold blue, which is hard to read on a dark background. Folders with unread messages are shown in bold, but as the text there is now white, it doesn't show up as clearly as it did with the light theme. I've also seen messages marked in bold red (can't remember what they were, as I don't see any now), and that was awful on the eyes.
Can we configure/modify this theme? It's seems a bad choice to force a new theme without any choice (can't see a way to change it), and without any way to configure it.
Thanks

By the way, I don't have any theme-related extensions. The only extensions I have at all are Lightning and "Manually sort folders"

Thanks Wayne, I did that. I guess this means that there isn't a fix at the moment?
If you're willing to add a userChrome.css file, there's no end to the customizations you can apply. Search on terms like 'thunderbird userChrome.css unread font color' or 'thunderbird userChrome.css folder pane color'.
Here is an example I found today:
@sfhowes Thanks for that. After a lot of mucking around, I have it under control. The colours aren't quite what I'd like yet, but they are a big improvement. In case it helps anyone, here is the entire contents of my userChrome.css file...
