Default outlook 2007 custom form colors/xp theme

All,

I have been asked to help someone out upgrading their Outlook custom form
application to Outlook 2007. Before I get too far along, I just wanted to
peek in here and ask a question.

1. When you create a custom form in outlook 2007 and publish it, it loses
it's ince blue color and the buttons and other controls no longer have the
XP look and feel. Is there any way around this?

2. How can you change the default form for the inbox in Outlook 2007?


Thanks

1) Use form regions instead of legacy custom forms.

2) You can't make a message form the default for a folder and, even if you could, it wouldn't affect new items entering that folder.
