Restore Discord Desktop to Previous Look

The Issue

Discord users are not happy with the new look given to desktop. While new accessibility options are absolutely welcomed, changing the default was not necessary.

The server list in particular is really hard to navigate as it looks messy, especially the folders. The icons are too small, the spacing too close and inconsistent, and there was no need to make them square - there is nothing in the appearance settings to make this easier to view.

Please consider restoring the previous desktop look, or at least give users the option to choose between the two.

In addition, please consider adding an option to adjust the text size of the channel list, not just the chat.

This isn’t just users disliking change, it’s a badly designed UI that is causing accessibility issues which need to be addressed.
