dark mode not working for received html emails thunderbird 91.7 / Windows 10 - windows-10

I can enable dark mode in thunderbird (tools/preferences/Add-ons and Themes).
However received emails still have white background and black text color.
It seems that this comes from the fact that the emails are written in html (mostly company emails) and not plain text.
If I go to View / Message Body As / Plain Text the text now shows in the dark colors I specified under tools / preferences / general / Language & Appearance / colors where I configured some dark-mode-like colors.
However now all my emails have bad formatting.
Can I achieve the same result without switching to plain text view?
My specs:
Thunderbird 91.7 64bit
Windows 10

If you choose View / Message Body As / Simple HTML, messages will be displayed with the colors you configured while still retaining some HTML formatting.

How to have All text darker (like bold) in all programs for ease of reading

HP Pavilion Gaming laptop on Windows 10
I am not asking how to make the display brighter.
I am also not asking how to adjust the contrast between colors.
I need to know how to make a change so the text in ALL programs will be darker, i.e., like when I bold text in Word or Outlook. Then it will be easier for me to read.
I do not want to set High Contrast, because it makes most things Black. Printing a screen shot would use an enormous amount of ink. I usually paste into Word to print them.
Also, when I have High Contrast set, open Kindle, and type characters for a search, the characters do not display. It seems that the characters are being echoed in the same color as the background for the search box – black.
Examples of where I need “darker/bolded” text: Windows Settings, Firefox with some web pages, Windows Explorer, Outlook 2016 list of emails in a folder.
I should mention that I have some trouble seeing in the dark now, as of a few years ago.

How to send markdown or HTML message via Viber bot

Is it possible to send formatted message from Viber Bot with Markdown or HTML tags?
If yes - then how? What attributes to specify?
Response from Viber Developer Support:
formatting text with our API is only possible for keyboard or rich media buttons, not for text messages.
Good news from future, add a character on both sides without space:
bold with *,
italic with _,
wasted with ~,
monospace with ```.
But the formatted view is rendered only in the mobile version.

Acumatica: Report Design Different When Printed

I noticed that the report's designs preview and printed are different.
I found it that all of the reports are the same.
So I tried to create new test report and notice that background colors are not rendered on print.
How too keep the design when printing?
Design:
+++
Printed:
By default Reports are rendered in HTML mode. As is often the case with HTML, the report as seen in the browser uses a different CSS style then the one sent to the browser print dialog. I'm pretty sure the reason for this is to accommodate printer technology. Printing solid dark backgrounds uses up a lot of ink and text is more legible when it's black text over a white background.
With HTML rendering, browser view and print preview differ to accommodate printer limitations:
HTML was never meant for accurate rendering anyway so I think the CSS change is for the better but if you want exact result just switch to PDF mode which is meant to provide accurate rendering. Print preview should match very closely the PDF rendering in browser when the report is displayed in PDF mode:
It can get tiring to manually switch to PDF each time by clicking the rendering mode button so you can change the default mode in the report configuration:
It is also possible to edit your custom reports or the standard ones so they default to PDF rendering in the browser instead of the current HTML default:
To edit report you will need to install Acumatica Report Designer (it is in Acumatica ERP Windows Installer) and use the EDIT REPORT button and then use Save to Server file menu item in the report designer to save the report modifications:
Have you checked the Background Graphics checkbox in the printing dialog of your printing preview program? It's primarily in the More Settings section.

Reduce size of text in slack message

Is there a way to reduce the size of the text in slack messages just the way we have ways to make the text bold/italics?
For version 4.10.1 the best I was able to come up with was superscript. I typed out my text in a word processor, turned it into superscript, and copy/pasted it back into Slack. This is what it looked like. It's quite small.
No. The Slack markup does not include a feature for changing the font size. Your only formatting options are:
Bold
Italic
Strike-through
Quotes
Inline Code
Lists
See Message Formatting (API docs) and Format your messages (Help Center) for more details.
Another thought: If your aim is to reduce the size of your overall message appearing in a Slack channel I would suggest taking a look at attachments. Those will automatically be shortened and shown with an "Show more" option if its text exceeds 700 chars.

How to make the emojis display well in windows android studio code editor view?

How to use emoji in the Android source code in Android studio or IntelliJ in Windows OS? I want to use emojis in the logcat print messages by choosing emojis from the context-sensitive popup. I could not find the right plugin.
I need the plugin that is used in the picture below. But don't know how to achieve the same. When I googled I get references to emoji-compat for showing emoji in the android application's soft keyboard dialog. But I want to use emoji in the source code in the comments and logcat only.
Update: I thought it is an android studio feature. But it is available as soft touch keyboard in windows 10. "WIN + ;" is the shortcut for launching the same.
Now, my next question is how to make the emojis display colorful in windows android studio's code editor and logcat like the way it appears in the Mac.
In Mac it appears like this:
In windows it appears like this in the editor after adding the emoji:
On mac position the cursor in any text field you'd like to insert an
emoji, like posting a tweet for example.
Use the keyboard shortcut Command - Control - Space bar to access
emoji.
Double-click the emoji you'd like to use and it'll be inserted where
you left your cursor.
In your screenshots, the emojis appear to be rendered in a monochrome version in your editor. I've experienced a similar problem with the display of emojis in IntelliJ on macOS.
At first, I thought it was due to a character encoding setting. This turned out to be unrelated as my file encoding is set to UTF-8 everywhere.
After living with the problem for quite some time, the solution I've found to have emojis display right for me is to set the fallback font (for symbols not supported by the main font) to "Apple Color Emoji" for both the editor and the console.
The corresponding UI path for this setting is listed below.
Preferences > Editor > Font
When a color scheme font setting overrides the editor font, then the following paths can apply.
Preferences > Editor > Color Scheme > Color Scheme Font
Preferences > Editor > Color Scheme > Console Font
"Show only monospaced fonts" will need to be disabled temporarily to show the emoji font under "Fallback font".
Additionally, I made "Paste without Formatting" be my default paste option so that emojis can be pasted directly, without risk of being transformed into Unicode escape sequences.
The result is that emojis display as expected for me throughout the IDE, making a big difference to my coding pleasure!
The code editor now correctly handles Unicode emoji characters. On Mac OS X emoji characters are rendered as colored images. On Windows and Linux emoji are rendered as monochrome characters.
