You can take off the shades, squinting Outlook.com users. It has gone dark. Very dark

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.
