Przemyslaw W,
Solution is reg hack.
to Disable thick title
save the following in a .reg file close all office apps and run this reg,
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\ExperimentConfigs\ExternalFeatureOverrides\powerpoint]
"Microsoft.Office.UXPlatform.FluentSVRefresh"="false"
"Microsoft.Office.UXPlatform.FluentSVRibbonOptionsMenu"="false"
"Microsoft.Office.UXPlatform.RibbonTouchOptimization"="false"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\ExperimentConfigs\ExternalFeatureOverrides\excel]
"Microsoft.Office.UXPlatform.FluentSVRefresh"="false"
"Microsoft.Office.UXPlatform.FluentSVRibbonOptionsMenu"="false"
"Microsoft.Office.UXPlatform.RibbonTouchOptimization"="false"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\ExperimentConfigs\ExternalFeatureOverrides\word]
"Microsoft.Office.UXPlatform.FluentSVRefresh"="false"
"Microsoft.Office.UXPlatform.FluentSVRibbonOptionsMenu"="false"
"Microsoft.Office.UXPlatform.RibbonTouchOptimization"="false"Hi all,
I've been using the mentioned registry keys for months successfully.
However, following last update (v2406 build 17722.20206 - my license has monthly Enterprise update channel), they seem not to be working anymore. The ugly super thick title bar has come back. Reg entries are still there, but to no effect.
[...].FluentSVRefresh "false" still changes the Office apps splash screen from Fluent to "classic", but doesn't affect the ribbon anymore.
Is there any chance to have the classic thin look back or is it gone forever?
Thank you!- Hi there,
I've been using the regkey trick for months. Now, following update to v2406 forced by Enterprise update channel, the title bar has gone back to its obnoxious thickness and the regkey (which is still there) doesn't change it back to classic thin size.
"Microsoft.Office.UXPlatform.FluentSVRefresh" "false" changes the look of the splash screen only, not the title bar height anymore.
Help! Is there any other way to have the thin title bar back again or is it gone forever?
