Map zoom and character circles.

Is there any way to revert these back to how they were before the update?
The zooming out map doesn't look as good to me as the map that was in a window and the old style character circles for some reason aren't actually in the old style as they only have a singular circle at the character's feet instead of 2.

Also is the character selection circle a single line instead of 2 for some actual purpose though?
Here in the image you can see what the "Classic Selection" looks like but pre 1.3 update it used to be two circles not just the one.
I would prefer not to have to downgrade my game because then I miss out on all of the bug fixes and other content I much prefer, such as the much improved spell book.
As for the map zoom, the option for turning it of has been requested, so we have to wait and see.
Anyway about the "classic selection", I honestly forgot about the original green singular circles. I would love the option to have the double circles that EE originally had though. I guess I should submit a content ticket or whatever. Here's hoping.
Kind of wish we could have the old journal system too but I know there's not a chance in hell of that happening.https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/61239/making-it-work-journal/p1
It would help me in having an opinion on the matter of this topic. I have chose to have all the allies green because I don't use AI, but micromanage the party, I use the icons on the right part of the screen to select characters and I rely on autopause on enemy destroyed and spell cast to be sure that no one is inactive in a crowded battle. But in EE, when the battle is crowded and the combat log full of entries it seems to be less reliable than in original. I have often situations where let's say Minsk is mlee attacking an enemy and aerie is helping him ranged. in the original the autopause was triggering 2 times, in EE it triggers only once and in the combat log appears "Minsk enemy destroied, then some other entries like some attack rolls and then the message "Aerie enemy destroyed", so sometimes I fail to read the first entry and one of the two remains inactive.
I would prefer on autopause the message "Minsk and Aerie enemy destroied", where can I put a request for it?
I don't use the rainbow colors because for me is easier to spot immediately if someone is ally or enemy, and aging my sight is not as good as before, discriminating between a pink circle, like the ones on the SE of the posted screenshot, and a red one for me is not so easy.
I suppose that the player's style and how the player is able to discriminate between colors is relevant to the choice.
