My skin breaks Microsoft Office Outlook 2007
Sunday, April 11, 2010 by 2of3 | Discussion: SkinStudio
This is outlook with my skin applied
And here with Corporate applied
I'm at a total loss as to why this particular skin is acting this way. I have tried all the skins in my library (even other skins by me) and Blue Wing is the only skin that effects outlook.
My system info:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Your computer has a Windows Experience Index base score of
Your Windows Graphics Experience score is 6.6
WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 7.1 (build 255 - Windows 7 Edition) - 64 bit OS
WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC
WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC
(Generic PnP Monitor) 1 is attached to ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730

All that occurred to me AFTER the fact, John. I thought "what was that that V said?" I was in that section first thing early on, but that must have been the only color I didn't change!
Oh well.....at least I know which setting screws it all up now!

This is important, so pay attention!
I was all finished reimporting all my images into a new template. I had outlook open at all times to make sure everything was fine.
So far, so good
The only thing left to do was the system colors. I copied all the settings from the old (broken) skin, then applied. I nearly shat myself when I saw outlook had reverted to classic! Thinking I had accidentally applied the old version, I hastily reapplied. No change.....
Bingo!
You guessed it. One of the settings in that section screws it up. I went through all the settings one at a time time to find out which item is the sinner.
Here's what I found out: Button color when pure black (0, 0, 0,) will turn outlook (all office apps actually) into classic win98 style. Change it to any other color and outlook is baby blue. Even not pure black (1, 1, 1,) won't change it,
Frakking hell man! I just spent 2 frakking days rebuilding a frakking skin only to discover this?
