Change the colour of Teams, the default purple is deterring everyone from even trying it, and refusing to move from Slack
Basically anything but purple or variant of it
Personally i like green, but variant of blue will also do

Today our organization is split between MS Teams and Slack. As an organization we use teams for voice calls and meetings. Our technical teams prefer slack and when I speak to them about moving to teams one of the biggest complaints is the color scheme limitations in teams. In slack they have a a number of customizations they can configure to make things easier to read when you have very large threads or channels with lots of messages that allow you to scan over many messages.
Color is just one of the many changes required to make this application easier for users to transition from slack to teams.

Purple is horrible on light or dark theme. I vote for option to customize color for MS Teams, and specifically calendar.

i request more customized themes in high contrast mode. I have a Eye challenge and i had to use high contrast but the current available three themes are not at all good and also hurting my eye condition. Many people are complaining the same. kindly implement that feature ASAP. Thanks a million

An option to use the system notifications style. For win 10, it would be nice as it will match the system config for color. I know win 10 notifications can also have reply boxes to replicate the teams notification reply function.

We all hate purple, it's an unpleasant color to use constantly and this is supposed to be used all day. I would be quite happy with blue/white, similar to Skype for Business

PLEASE give us the OPTION to change the color at a minimum. I feel like its Easter time every day using Teams.

I agree, simple color customization would be amazing. Though, my guess is that it has ties to their overall design guidelines and won't be something you see change anytime soon.

Everyone at our company has the same feeling. We keep trying to be sold that Teams is a better solution than Slack, but no one can get past the purple color of the app.

It would be great if one could customize the colors and font as they wish.
Or at least have a theme library with more than 2 color choices. -

It definitely doesn't respect the guidelines in terms of the colour scheme of the user's preferences.

Microsoft's UI guidelines say that apps should respect the color and font choices of the user, as set in the OS settings.
