You are not alone. I've posted this question a couple times, but EN has chosen not to respond. I have reluctantly decided to ignore this issue because EN seems to have made the decision to let the tags function wither on the vine. Why? Who knows? Maybe they are targeting teens who enjoy like-so-totaly-awesome-colors rather than adults who have actual work to do on EN. Anyway, my tag view remains unreadable green on gray and the iPad version, while totally legible, remains useless because it is squeezed into a narrow left panel. I agree with you regarding the undisclosed changes that a user might not want, but receives unknowingly in an upgrade. In the US recently there is an ongoing political controversy because Congress passed a new law before being permitted to read what was in it. The slogan was that "you've got to pass the law in order to find out what it says". EN operates the same way: "you've got to get the upgrade in order to find out why you don't want it". For the past year or so, I have declined upgrades. It is just not worth the risk.
