Please return Pro's pre-3.6 ModelBuilder's look!

The new interface may look more modern, but it’s highly impractical—especially for working with large models. The font size is too small to read when viewing the entire model, and if you increase the font manually, the names get cut off. The thin green tool-running indicator is also difficult to see. Previously, I could present model flows to colleagues with bright, clear visuals—the vivid red icons made the process engaging and easy to follow. That clarity is now gone.
While we can make tools wider, why not allow them to be taller as well?
At the very least, please give users the ability to choose between the old and new interfaces.

Thanks

@ShitijMehta I can't post a screen shot, but it's very difficult to see what's a var/tool/output in dark mode if you have a large model.  I also prefer the entire shape being the color of each type of variable/tool/output pre 3.6.  It was much less harsh on the eyes. It's not an easy task to switch to light mode to rectify this when using modelbuilder since you have to restart the application (Microsoft is able to do it on the fly somehow) and some of my projects take over 10 min to open bc of the bad network I am stuck on
