WB11 and Outlook 365 coloring

from Stardock Forums

Got past the "upgrade" to Windows 11 and WB11 working for Apps like Firefox. But now I see this with 365 Outlook (not new Outlook) in the 365 Dark Grey theme.

Can't see email address.  White in color on slightly less white.

In the 365 apps It gets better in the 365 White theme, little less washed out and 365 Dark theme brings back the medium grey color that let's you see email addresses.

But the Black and White 365 themes just don't work for me with other apps like OneNote.

I've tried other themes (using Vista Plus) and all have this color issue so far.

Maybe something in the Change system colors?  Does someone know what color(s) to play with?

Also, any particular themes that work well for Windows 11?  Something Similar to to Vista Plus?

Thanks!

Sure wish Stardock had a way to skin the new Microsoft apps, they really are broken.

Update.

I set Windwblinds 11 to ignore the Outlook app and the colors have come back.

I would like this to work without Ignoring it. Defeats the purpose of Windowblinds.

That's two so far in a day. Outlook and Task Manager (goes away if not ignored.)

Hi MickLimprecht,

I would suspect that you don't see this issue with the majority of the skins that are included in the base install of WindowBlinds.  If so, and you can reproduce the issue with any of those skins, can you tell me which ones?

Conversely, if it is a skin from WinCustomize, it very likely could be that the skin needs an update, and it would be prudent to contact the author of it.
