How do you change the color of the side panels in LR Classic?

Community Beginner ,

I am having such a hard time seeing anything with the dark grey side panels. I'm on a PC and have gone to Edit>Preferences and changed the Background color on the Main and Secondary windows to light grey, however the Folders Panel, etc. is still dark grey and I'm having a hard time using the panels when they are so dark.

I would appreciate any help.

Thank you.

Irene

Changing the interface colors would be a a great feature in Lightroom but unfortunately it is not possible.  You can make the characters bigger in Preferences if that would help.

There's much too little contrast between the text and background shade in the panels.

I need plenty of contrast to be able to see well which makes Lighroom Classic a real struggle, particularly for a new user like me since I find the whole interface navigation a struggle in the first the first place. 

I think that he interface is very out of date. I wonder when it last had a revamp?

I'm also having this problem. If the text could be a brighter white it would help.

Ideally I'd
