Windows 10: Outlook and (unofficial) Visual Styles

Hello all,

For a while now, I've been using different Visual Styles that are user created. They work like a charm, and I've also been able to edit many other things using third party apps (such as text-only task bar, custom start menu, etc.).

However, I've run into a problem with how these Shell themes affect MS Outlook. I like to use dark-coloured themes, and most (but not all) also change the way Outlook displays messages:





I'd like to overrule these color settings, so that Outlook is displayed all in White again. I've tried numerous things in the application (options>stationary>theme, options>disable CSS theme, view options>conditional formatting), but nothing seems to happen at all. My question is: does anyone know where these settings are located, and if they are located in the Shell theme itself, how I can edit them?

Thanks.
(Win 10.0.17763, Build 17763)

Windows 10 Visual Styles

Hello,

Here. I just completed an insider program survey, in which I really emphasized the need for Visual Styles.

After I had finished, I realized that the ONLY reason I am dissatisfied with Windows 10 and don't use it, is that is has less visual style than Windows 3. If Microsoft were to reintroduce Visual Styles to Windows, I would be more than happy to learn the
new layout and features of Windows 10! It would also be very fun if Microsoft were to include all previous visual styles when they bring back Visual Styles (Windows Classic, Luna, Aero basic, and Aero Glass) As these were beautiful user interfaces that made
using a computer fun!

If you agree, show your support for Visual Styles with me, and maybe we can convince Microsoft to make Windows fun again!

 

Enable visual styles in WPF application

I think WPF is incompatible with Visual Styles. Visual Styles is for WinForms. WPF is an entirely different animal.

 

Enable visual styles in WPF application

I also find this but it does not work too.
Source code is simple; it does not enable visual styles.
Am I wrong?? *Roll Eyes *Roll Eyes
