gnus faces changed by modus-vivendi theme

[sivaramn]

In emacs 29.4, modus-themes 4.6+ version, I use modus-vivendi as my theme. It all works very well, except in Gnus, where Summary marks are not respected(read, unread, marked as spam etc) in terms of their faces. Is there a way to customize the faces of gnus messages of Group and Summary buffers? In the screenshot, all the messages are read but it looks like all are unread entries.

another example, the entire summary buffer is seen but it looks as if so many are unread. I opened only 2 articles.

Basically, what should I customize to get it to look like a normal inbox folder? this section works for the mail headers when I open the article

Can you place the cursor of the text and do 'M-x describe-char'? It will produce a Help buffer that will mention the name of the face in use. Tell me which one it is and I will update the themes accordingly.
