Hello, Microsoft 365 Insiders! I’m Hugo Garcia, a Product Manager on the Apple Experiences team. I’m thrilled to announce the return of our special Pride Month theme in Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote for Mac and for iOS.
Show your Pride with rainbow accents
At its heart, Pride has always been about community. It’s the chosen family who celebrate us, and the simple, powerful act of being seen. And this year’s Pride isn’t just about showing up. It’s about choosing to live openly, visibly, and fully, and gathering with the people who make that possible. Pride endures, because you do.
The “Show Your Pride” theme is one small way to bring that spirit into the apps you open every day. When the rainbow accents show up in your inbox or across a document you’re working on, it’s a reminder that you belong, that you’re part of something bigger, and of the vibrant community that supports each other. It’s a warm way to carry that visibility with you, wherever the day takes you.
