Changing folder colors and icons

The new update is terrible and makes it much more difficult to see where unread mail is. How can I get back to the old user interface with a readable set of folder colors and icons?

Oh, and please don't just tell me to right-click and change the color of a folder, which only changes the color of the (now ugly) icon. The real issue, I should clarify, is that there is not enough of a difference in 78 between the text appearance of a folder with new mail and folder without new mail, regardless of what color you make that folder. The older version of Thunderbird for years and years had very clear bolding that you could instantly see which accounts had new mail. I use Thunderbird for 8 different accounts and losing that functionality is hampering me.
