How can I have my old colored ribbon icons in Outlook? After update 1809 (Build 10827.20138)
As you can read in the article there's a reason for the change. Just get use to it. In a year or so you forgotten about the old ones.
I've had the new gray, blah, 2-dimensional icons since subscribing to 365 last year and can't get used to them. I'm very disappointed in the poor graphics quality. I came across this community while searching to find if better ribbon graphics existed that perhaps I was not aware of.

Allan527 Susan Coward Hi,
For now this key still does the job. Probably, it will stop working in the future but here it is:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\ExperimentEcs\Overrides]
"ofg1hdkzibqt1j0"="false"- DocDJAug 17, 2020Copper ContributorTried it (set the default value to the quoted strings you posted, but didn't see any changes after restarting Office apps. Was I supposed to create a new KEY, with the value "false"?

Ah, that certainly looks an interesting solution, rather than being stuck forever on a previous build version after resubscribing. Will give that a try too. Thank you!
