Thunderbird 128.0.1esr - upgrade changed UI and now very hard to read UI for individual messages. Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS
In a recent upgrade the Thunderbird UI changed and now very hard to read UI when viewing an individual message or attempting to write a new message. Background color and text color are identical or nearly so. I've attached how it looks.
I've played around with settings extensively to try and fix, but there is no setting that enables me to control the color of the UI itself.
I am currently running Thunderbird 128.0.1esr 64-bit on Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS (Ubuntu Linux)

I am also having a problem where sometimes the program only downloads headers and not body content. The recent upgrade was really buggy. I have to open messages on my iphone and re-forward them to myself to read them in Thunderbird on my computer.
We are optimistic the color issues will be fixed for you in 128.1.0 out in a couple weeks.
On the header-only issue, you might check the account setting for 'synchronization&torage advanced tab to verify the folders are okay for offline use (which also accounts for downloading full messages) and also in same screen that thunderbird is set to sync all messages locally.
I am no color guru, but you might try changing themes, at least as a workaround.
