New mobile theme and layout

I’m having some issues with the new mobile theme and layout. Sure, the new layout is a bit difficult to gross at first but I can sort of live with it. However, the theme is my biggest issue. What I liked about older versions of discord was the low contrast theme. The near mid toned grey with the white text was really easy to read. I have an astigmatism and high contrast white text on black background is difficult to read. The white background is way too bright as well so this new update makes it difficult and frustrating to use the app. It makes me sad that visual impairments were not taken into consideration in this update. Please, at the very least add a low contrast theme that is not locked behind nitro.

As for the layout, I said before that I can live with messages being in another area. But I really liked how the members list was before. It was very intuitive and it made the app feel open and easy to navigate. For moderators it is useful to be able to easily access the members list, and the channel description/information with a quick swipe. Now it feels a bit enclosed and strange. Though I do like being able to open settings by tapping the channel name.

Please please fix the theme for visually impaired folks.
