[THIN] Re: Published Outlook 2007 is ugly

I can't even get them to agree it's ok to run XP Sp3.  Office 2007 isn't even on the radar.  it's a shame they didn't offer a "classic" view or something.  or maybe they did and I just haven't found it yet.

This should be fun...LOL  I've been testing on a local PC and haven't had any issues with it so far.  My users have only had it for 2 days so I'm sure they'll find all the bugs for me.  ;) Unfortunately, the move to 2007 was decreed by our CIO and I had to comply. Thankfully, the upgrade to 2007 on the Citrix server was fairly painless.  The display in all the office apps is pretty fuzzy but it's most prominent in Outlook.

I don't know I am still very inclined to stick with Outlook 2003.  I have been using Outlook 2007 locally on my Vista Business PC since it's release and testing and every time I get an update from MS (once a month) it somehow breaks Outlook 2007 and I have to run the repair utility from the CD.  Very frustrating.

I was kind of hoping good would overcome since I upgraded to 2007 this weekend and the display is ugly here as well.  ;)  Any suggestions would be welcome.

yep. Unfortunately it's now a dead issue as I've rolled back to 2003 (which works fine).

WI 4.6 and the latest AMC, repulish app and you'll get better colours on the icon through PNagent and WI / CSG.

Publishing office 2007 on w2k3 r2 w/sp2, citrix name-of-the-day 4.5, and Outlook is just ugly. As in 16-color ugly. All of the other apps, including office, look fine, and pictures embedded within an e-mail message display fine in Outlook, it's just Outlook itself is hideous.

Ideas?
