โœ… What I like:

  • The "Quick Filter" toolbar (especially the tag filtering).
  • The calendar overview showing days with events (via a little blue dot).
  • The built-in contacts manager is very nice.
  • Customizability has been retained in this release and ... even improved.
  • The way the team has been communicating with & listening to the community while building Supernova.

๐Ÿ“ˆ What can be improved:

  • Thunderbird icon in Windows 11 taskbar seems smaller than other icons?
  • The "compact" density setting feels too compact ... just a little bit more padding would be perfect.
  • Themes that have a dark Unified Toolbar and a light sidebar (where the folders are) have the sidebar text in white. Seems like a bug. Try the "Antimuonium" theme for example. I also tried changing the interface through CSS, but I couldn't manage to fix this issue.
  • Limited set of interesting and compatible add-ons? (CardBook incompatible at this moment, can't find Duplicate Contacts remover ...)
  • Contact manager's search field doesn't have a button to clear the search.

โŒ What I don't like:

  • The new card view is not my cup of tea (yet), but I understand the use case and luckily the tabular view is still there.

The icon is slightly smaller for me as well (Fedora KDE).

I guess it is because they want to display the mail count on the upper-right, but still, looks a bit out of place.

I do like the card view. The only thing that bothers me is that it's hard to distinguish between read and unread mail. At least in light view. In dark view it's a much larger color difference.
