After years of improving the quality and colours from 16bit, to millions, they take a 15 year step backwards and just give us flat To add further insult by dictating the stupid colour schemes that everyone must conform to, they also change the icons. Now it seems some Apple people have migrated into the MS camp and enforcing the 'one size fits all' policy that Apple adopt. I spend 10 hours a day using Microsoft products, and have resisted using 2013, even though I have it installed.įor years, Microsoft have been giving us the flexibility to change options, colours, icons etc to suit various needs. I agree with the vast majority of people here with the monstrosity colour scheme that is Office 2013. So Office 2010 will continue being the choice until hopefully Office 2016 makes it right. Volume Licensing with SA, we have the option of sticking with 2010, and most do.

Word, Excel, and have to dim my display to try to curb eye strain when using these apps.Įverything else I use gives me the option of a color scheme more eye friendly than this Office 2013 mess.Īs an IT professional who has to support over 300 people, I am making it very clear to my staff and coworkers that this is a limitation with no acceptable solution and that Microsoft has done nothing to address this issue in over two years. Who knows how many thousands of users with light sensitivity issues and color blindness, and power users who use Office apps 6+ hours a day are affected by this junk of a color scheme! I sit in front of my computer for hours, working in Outlook, Why would Microsoft's accessibility and usability teams accept the extremely limited option of blinding white and two shades of gray? Here we are in 2015 and Microsoft has done nothing to address this accessibility and usability issue. I've "confirmed" my email address guess that's enough.)
(Tried to upload an image, but my account needs to be "verified" first, whatever that means. So while it can make Outlook's interface usable, it may negatively impact other applications. Unfortunately, they affect every app, even ones that have nice interfaces. Once you're in that High Contrast mode, a "Window Color" button at the bottom of the Personalization/Theme dialog allows you to change dialog colors the way you could in the oldĭays before Aero. Playing around with that, I found a way that might help some users.

The only workable way to make this disgusting interface have enough contrast is to go into one of Windows High Contrast monitor modes, as the original poster noted. Researching this issue for a coworker who has vision problems, I came across this link. How do people at Microsoft accept such awful design changes as good ideas? Even the High Contrast theme offers minimal contrast. Not only does that waste my time, but it will waste the time of the thousands of people who find this post in the future looking for a solution to this blinding white work area.Īgreed - The contrast in office 2013 is horrendous. You didn't already do on your computer to reproduce the issue and correct it. With all due respect, please don't ask me to try something that Again, you can do this all on your own computer with little impact. However when you change the theme to High Contrast Black under Control Panel > AppearanceĪnd Personalization > Personalization, it changes it to black along with every other white spot, as shown in my pictures. Select the "Window" item, and change it to any color, the message list still stays white. > Personalization > Window Color > Advanced appearance settings.
The settings under Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization This behavior can be reproduced on any computer running Outlook 2013. With all due respect, I think you only skimmed over my post and offered a generic response.
