Outlook 365 Ribbon, etc
The ribbon on Outlook 365 looks different after a restart this morning. For example rather than a X (cross) for Delete it now a symbol of a rubbish bin. Also other symbols have changed on the ribbon ...
In the past for things like this, Microsoft would make the old design as a "theme" or "skin". Those that didn't like the new look could go back to the old one. This is the right way to do it - give the end user choice and control.
Keep in mind too that businesses may have documentation on how to do things based on specific ribbon designs. This funky new look is all well and good, but it really is just change for the sake of change, and there are quite a few who do not like this, myself included.
Well said Saul. Trouble is those who do like it just tell us all to "get used to it". Digital bullying by those who are simply jealous of those who knew how to make good use of the software before and enjoy seeing us have to grasp in the dark just like them to find features that we were using for years that are now hidden.
Microsoft keep doing their best to kill off any muscle memory we develop by taking easy actions away from us and replacing them with two-step actions that require clicking parts of the screen well away from each other in the hope that we eventually stop bothering using those features so that they can quote metrics and take those features away "due to lack of use".
