Interface colorscheme

On design perspective I see you tried to create the new UI coloring to fit the theme of your expansion, however as a person with light sensitive eyes and as someone who is also graphic designer, I have few things to bring up.
First
Original Ui's used gray tones since they fit most screens and are really easy on the eyes.
It's a neutral color scheme that you can stare hours at without any eye fatique, ideal for games although bit dull to some.
The current expansion ui remake uses much darker color scheme, this brings out all the other colors, but in a bad way, bit like in your forums now that I think about, although here the contrast is not as bold.
My problem here is, I could use old Ui for hours, I think my longest spree when I was young was almost 20 hours of game time in one day, without any issues. However, when it comes to new ui, I can barely look at it for five to ten minutes before my eyes start to water out and if I go past that they start to hurt and get tired. Like if I was being exposed extremely bright show lights in a dance club or a music festival.
I can't play dragonspear even if I want to, the black toned ui creates color contracts and font reading problems that cause my eyes physical harm.
I urge you to return to the working gray tones, as this new ui coloring scheme go, I can't recommend anyone to play the game for their own health, infact, you might consider it for the forums as well, my eye's are starting to water out when I am reaching to this point of the post, the yellow /magenta in dark background is really harmful for people with eye sensitivities. Problem that only persists when you are writing the message, not when it's shown on forums, please us this information as reference.
This makes me really sad since I really wanted to play the game, but for my own safety, I can not. I can't work after playing this game which ruins my working method of alterating between game and artwork. It's just too tiring for eyes.
I might pick it up again, when it's on sale and you have given out either option to restore old ui, or reduced the darkness of the current one. Merely changing your screen brightness doesn't help in this case, it makes the game itself look too light.
Best regards.
