the category list and replace it with colors? What are we in second grade.

Did you upgrade to color categories?

What parts don't you like?

I'd like to be able to assign colorless categories (not White, but colorless
so I can use automatic formatting) and edit the category list easier. I'm
not holding my breath though.

I have 776 entries in my address book, carefully categorised over the past
10-15 years. My world is disintegrating about my ears as the categories
vanish every time I click on one.

I get these gimmick colours instead. I have no interest at all in colours.
I want my categories back please. How?
