Outlook, the last bastion of weird customization hackery
Some of us folks spend our days in the Outlook desktop client. In that world, the customization options are just bizarre.
- For a start, it doesn't seem to respect the Windows theme (y'know, like every other Windows app does, lest MSFT come down on them like a ton of bricks).
- You can change your theme between Colorful, Gray, White and Black, but in reality, anything other than Colorful leads to weird artifacts on screen, like the word "To:" being black on black.
- There's a weird customization option that does nothing more than put a little watermark on your ribbon, eg a little swirl. Maybe 10-12 choices here. But for the love of god, why?
There are some days I really miss Pine.
