• Patch Lady – am I out of touch?

    Posted on October 22, 2019 at 22:50 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    What’s up with “dark mode”?  Every app, every operating system, every geek thing that comes across my view is popping up with “dark mode”.  Clearly I am in the minority about dark mode because I find that it makes things harder to read, not easier.

    And while I’m on a grumpy “what’s up with that” mood…. things that annoy me when it comes to graphical user interfaces include….. I find it annoying that the Outlook icon is blue and somewhat close to matching the Word icon color and is no longer Yellow.  What’s up with that?  I find it annoying that the colors in Office are very washed and whited out.  All of these decisions are probably due to the fact that Microsoft is moving more things to the web and away from the desktop.  But until we’re all up on the web, I just wish there were more colors in my Office applications, that my Outlook icon was Yellow.

    Clearly I am getting old.
