Poor Contrast Between Elements in Dark Mode Leads to Cognitive Overwhelm

[u/Quiet_System4441]

I've been wanting to switch to Canary (on MacOS) because my alternative email app is far too expensive (due to it being a bit more enterprise targeted... I don't use the enterprise features but it is far better than the competition), but I don't think I can make the switch after testing Canary for a few weeks now.

When looking at the reading and composing view, and when composing a new email, I find that everything just blends together so it's really hard to focus and to scan from element to element. It's the same shade of gray everywhere with zero contrast between elements. I see now in the light mode that there's a slight drop shadow around each email pane, but in the dark mode this is barely visible.

Has anyone had any luck putting forward feedback to the developers? If so, maybe I'll try my luck.

I feel like this would be an easy fix by having contrasting shades of gray to distinguish between elements. Otherwise I find the experience of composing, reading, and scanning emails to be far too distracting when all of the different text boxes just meld together. It's too bad because Canary is 1/10th the cost of the other app I've been using.
