You're probably right. But my feeling is that MS is on the ropes in many
ways. It would behoove them to add a little spring to their step. Office
2007 has the potential of being a huge disaster.

MS has said before that no one will be able to change the theme.
And just to echo Echo's sentiment, Office 2007 is done and this is what it
will look and feel like until the next version comes out. MVP or not, you
can complain and suggest as much as you want, the effect will probably be
barely noticeable...

For all the UI issues (inconsistencies etc), you can either learn to live
with it, find some workaround or just not use Office 2007. MS won't change
anything.

Has anyone given some thought to how these Office 2007 themes are
applied.
The change is instant, so I'm assuming the colors etc are stored
somewhere,
and one only has to change a registry setting or some such thing to make
the
effect. If this is the cast, and either MS will show us how, or someone
can
find the files, we could color or theme our Office 2007 anyway we wanted.
Any thoughts on this? Maybe a MVP could suggest this to someone who can
really listen at MS.

Perhaps not, but at this point it's a done deal. Not much to be done
about it.

And in any case, this group is a collection of users and volunteers;
MS
gives
us the sandbox but doesn't join in our playtime here. We're pretty
sympathetic
to a bit of needed venting, but can't do much beyond lend a sympathetic
ear and
offer the occasional "Hear, hear". ;-)
