Provide ability to change the color of the reading pane or set background and text color for the reading pane
The dark theme is great in Outlook, however the inability to change the background and text color of the reading pane make it almost painful.
It would be fantastic to have the ability to configure the default CSS for the reading pain and text/html therein.

In this age of accessibility I cannot believe MS have not implemented this.
Emails are too bright on a stark white backgroundbackround and are very tiring to read and actually cause me headaches.
I'd also like to be able to change ALL backgrounds to all programmes a less jarring shade if that could be done - perhaps as a screen filter so that all programs are fixed, regardless of whose program it is.

Agree! Obviously there's several threads in UserVoice regarding Dark Mode and how this is available for MacOS, etc. but not Windows. Would be great to implement immediately for all the Office Suite apps to save our eyes! XD

Please consider adding the option to change the background color of messages in the reading pane. The bright white hurts my eyes, but changing the Office Theme to Dark Grey or Black doesn't change this view.

Change the reading pane from "white" to a dark gray with a light color text.

Maybe in the app it would be cool if we could have a different backdrop

Just like in Gmail, a background inside of the inbox that lets you feel comfortable, not a monocolored theme, nor a top right corner image, but an image across the whole inbox.

Let me change the color of the reading pane, e.g. text displayed white on black, or gray!

can we darken the background of outlook? My eyes are really getting tired of the white background. I changed the background on my facebook to black and it is much easier on the eyes.
maybe this feature is available on outlook already, but I cannot seem to find how to change it.

I would like to set the e-mail background to black - I mean having white text on the black background directly in the e-mail. Let's save energy and user eyes :)
Not sure if this is currently available in Office 365 with the dark theme.

I have somewhat the same, but this concerns the middle pane where the list with messages reside.
Only in the darker theme the background is changed which looks weird, please add the real dark theme and let us change things within the panes! -

Please, I need other darker colours. I can not see this soft blue. If we can change and choose the colours. Thanks

Please develop a dark mode for actual message reading or preview panes similar to what Apple has done (which you have enabled in your own Outlook App for iOS - which I love and is exactly what I'd love to see in the main desktop application!). Thanks!

Make the words black not gray.
All the tabs and labels are gray. Use color to make things look different.
I can not tell what has been read or not. -

Where do your eyes spend most of their time in Outlook. The reading pane. So why must our retinas be burned when choosing a "Black" theme?
