Thunderbird 128 redesigned card view feedback

Hello

Generally I like the tabs much better than the old table view.

However the latest iteration seems to me to go a bit in the wrong direction.

In the blog post you write: "The new layout is more attractive and makes it easier to scan your email threads and glean information at a glance." To me the opposite is the case. It is hard to exactly pinpoint the cause of this. Here are some ideas:

- There is more lines which make it look more like a card. This however adds also more noise.

- The bold sender name in combination with the dark background.

- There is no clear guidance for the eye on where to look.

- There isn't much empty space within the cards elements.

To me it seems the subject should be the most prominent thing in the card. This is where the I should be led to look.

Also when grouped by days e.g., the button to toggle the pane is very small. Previously I believe the whole pane was just clickable which made it very easy to fold it up and down.

Thank you, much appreciated

Cem

Have you found a solution to revert back to the old look for messages? I also hate those space-wasting cards!

and choose Table View.

I did that already, but this it not the view I had before... 😢
Is there no way to just get rid of the space-wasting line at the bottom??
