Outlook 365, how to go back to OLD ribbon graphics and icons
SJP363 I get the need for scalable, fair enough. I guess it would look better with a dark theme.
But guess what, not everyone has 40" monitors. Not everyone wants to work with a dark theme. How come we get a choice of theme but not icon colour scheme? Would it be soooo difficult for MS to provide a separate icon set? Way back when, you could use any icon on your sys, or even create your own icon - shock horror! That was when Office really was mine. The many, many toolbars were mine. That was true customization. So many years forward from then, and yet MS have gone so far backwards.
Disappointed doesn't even begin to describe my feelings after so many years of buying and using MS products
Agree with you 100% on your 2019 comments on these MS assholes who stole our outlook 2010 aesthetics. I have been angry for years. My IT administrator has been amazing about keeping my Outlook 2010 running, but I have been experiencing increasing problems, so I looked into the 2022 version hoping for some legacy skins options, yet have not found any way to change. Recently I had to succumb to the "toddler" effect of the Windows 10 ridiculous Windows XP-like icons whereas I used to be able to change my skin to the superior windows 98 theme. You are the only one I came across who truly completely gets how Microsoft has raped us intelligent users and also imposed the "Steve Jobs" effect AKA your definition of fifty shades of gray or what I called white on white snowstorms; like "where the **bleep** is the search field? Oh, I finally found it, no **bleep**ing visible box just a snow blindness field. Who the **bleep** likes this minimalistic, Steve Jobs Form over-function **bleep**? It's like iPhones, so oversimplified they are challenging to use by analytical thinking intelligent people.
QUESTION: Is it possible to revert to Outlook 2010 look and feel in the 2021 version? Or do we have to wait another decade before the fashion trends trend away from Steve Jobs? OR will society continue to become less intelligent like in the movie Idiocrasy?
