Quppa Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 http://www.monashmsp.com/2009/04/19/office...ith-more-glass/ Two recent screenshots of Outlook 2010 reveal that the glass frame will be extended down to include the tab section of the ribbon, just like the address bar in Explorer/IE7/IE8 in Vista/7.

Silverskull Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Hmm, looks nice... but they better make sure it works with Aero Snap. Office 2007 does not. (Actually, neither does Google Chrome or Safari 4.) IE8 does though, so I hope they can get it right.

Quppa Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 The Windows 7 ribbon fully supports Aero Snap, so I can't see it being an issue for Office 2010. Office 2007 does work with aero snap. Atleast on build 7077. Really? Including restoring the window (from the maximised state)? In build 7000, maximising and snapping to the left/right edges works, but not restoring.

dcoaster Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I still liked the classic menus :p I'll miss my poor classic layout... :( Any ideas why Outlook didn't get the makeover along with Word/PowerPoint/Excel in 2007?

mad_onion Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 probably they just didn't have enough time and they probably wanted people to get used to the dea of ribbon before putting it in outlook/publisher/onenote Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/761160-office-2010-ribbon-now-with-more-glass/#findComment-590874404 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLien_0 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 some of the built in apps in windows 7 use the ribbon interface, I wonder if they will update them later one to use the newer ribbon interface used in office 2010 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/761160-office-2010-ribbon-now-with-more-glass/#findComment-590874408 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted April 19, 2009 Veteran Share Posted April 19, 2009 Everything looks "bigger" in Outlook 2010 than it does in Outlook 2007. I'm not sure if that's a good thing.

xp1ode Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 This whole glass idea is getting out of hand. I just started sing W7 and i must say it looks more polished than vista, but the glass just doesn't do it for me.

George P Global Moderator Posted April 19, 2009 Global Moderator Share Posted April 19, 2009 so turn glass off? Or turn the transparency lower. Having "Glass" in "windows" makes sense when you think about it. It's just odd they didn't do it sooner since even back in Win2k they supported transparency.

ToneKnee Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I can confirm that aero snap doesn't work properly. If you attach it so that the window maximises, you cannot pull it back off again, so you either hit the unmaximise button or double click the top of the window.
