Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It is very hard to find anything in the UI because of the layout and color combination. Everything looks kinda the same.
The response area doesn't need to be laid out linearly - it eats up real estate and forces a scroll to see the response

Describe the solution you'd like

Overall, the UI needs to be judicial about real estate. We don't need all those fancy margins/paddings and oversized fonts.
Using different color backgrounds to demarcate request/response will help improve readability and reduce cognitive strain
I see mentions about UI revamp - if there's a beta version out, I'd love to give it a spin.

Describe alternatives you've considered

keep using postman :)
or use insomnia? But I don't really want to!

fyi, PW passes accessibility test by Lighthouse. Hope this settles the readability of the color contrast. However, you can switch themes from settings > themes to choose one that looks good in your monitor.

Will work on tweaking the response area to optimise long scrolling issues 👍

LOL, wish Lighthouse was a real person.
