0 bangbang023 Veteran Posted September 21, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 21, 2003 Nope, that's how the UI was designed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Dazzla Veteran Posted September 21, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 21, 2003 The only theme I've seen it look ugly in is the default blue luna. I mean just switching to an alternate colour makes it looks pretty damn nice imo. Looks good in Classic as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Premgenius Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 well not everyone hates it and not everyone likes it, u win some you lose some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 AgEnTsMiTh Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 or just use a VS. I am running curssive and its flat. If you run the default luna, that is how its going to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 dougkinzinger Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Yes, just running XP in Classic mode is the only way to get it to look like it used to. Change is good man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 NtOrZor Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Is office 2003 out? Or are you guys all using beta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dougkinzinger Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 It's out on the Volume and MSDN channels from Microsoft. It hits stores and online retailers on October 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dougkinzinger Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Hey King Mustard, enable ClearType (and download ClearTweak from Google and set the contrast to 1000). Then it'll look just a tad better. That goes for everyone too. ClearType's the bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Explicative Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 One workaround I've discovered is to create a custom menu and put your most-used icons/fields in there. I've noticed that I don't use most of the icons on the toolbars anyway, so I've created a stripped down custom menu with just the essentials like font, font size, zoom, etc. Looks much cleaner, requires an extra click though. However, on this topic, anyone know how to get rid of the drop shadows underneath menus? Is there an obvious option somewhere I've overlooked, or is this too hard-coded into the gui?

0 U.N.C.L.E. Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Display Properties|Appearance|Effects Uncheck "Show shadows under menus" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Explicative Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Display Properties|Appearance|EffectsUncheck "Show shadows under menus" No, that's the system-wide option, even with that disabled the menus in Office still have drop shadows.

0 morganpugh84 Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I hate the new Office 2003 UI :( I think the Office XP UI was gorgeous except the old style icons and other graphics in the program (i mean look how old and fugly the create new rule wizard graphic was! ewww!). I just wish they had kept the old UI with new icons. However Office 2003 is excellent to use and has loads of nice new features so I will just up with the fugly UI just because it kicks ass as a program.

0 duhdrummer Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 all you have to do is use another visual style other than the default lunas and it looks just like how it used to. does ne1 really still use the default luna themes ... aside from radish ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
