the solid white characters on a jet black background are very hard to read. we went with white paper with black letters as a society a long time ago due to the harshness. i also cannot select a UI color that is good for colorblind issues, everything is dark and somehow neon-y? the old gallente color i used was very easy on the eyes. please bring back old UI or change photon to be more accessible to those who have vision problems.

Can you not make the window transparent, so it is white letters against whatever the background is, like the first picture?
