Thunderbird Light/Dark mode

It seems that Thunderbird follows the Windows 10 settings and installs Dark mode, making the emails/messages unreadable. From what I've read, the only way to correct that is to set Windows in Light mode, which is not always suitable.

It would be nice if Thunderbird had it's own Light/Dark mode feature, allowing the users to select which mode they prefer.

Any thoughts/suggestions on the matter?

It can be a bit tricky to set the Windows colors with the TB theme. I can have the default app and Windows mode both Dark, yet have TB stay 'light' with the Weatherlicious add-on (see picture). But without the add-on, TB is only 'light' if the default app mode is Light.

Tried that a few times and the message area remains dark. The only way that I found to resolve the issue to to change the Windows 10 from Dark to Light.

Just finished setting up TB 78b1 and tweaking all the settings. TB is Dark while the message area is Light, without selecting any Themes, for now.

Thanks for all your help.

Have a great week end.
