Windows Live Mail Colour & skin/theme?

[ponder]

Ok, how does one change the colour in WLM client as these pastels suck donkey balls. You can go to More Colors but and they have solid colours there but selecting them does not change things to that solid colour.

2. Is there any way to theme/skin this biatch so it looks like classic XP? This Vista theme simply does not fit into XP.

I might just restore all the mail in OE as I think WLM is kukker.

Anyone?

This question has been asked many times in the live mail newsgroups. Seems for the time being it can't be done. I also would like a theme that doesn't look like a cosmo fashion shoot.

Ja I did google and found no solution but thought I would try my luck here. I honestly don't know what possessed them. At first it did not bother me (probably because I would theme it a bit later on or so I thought) but now it irritates the crap out of me even though it's not my PC and I don't have to look at it all day long. I will let the user decide what he likes seeing I restored OE so he just has to pick the one he prefers then I'll delete the other one.

Win live mail's storage of emails as individual files (.eml's) as opposed to OE's antiquated and buggy .dbx format is reason enough for me to stick with live mail. Also it's support for pop for my hotmail is great. And the fact that I've got windows 7 means I couldn't have OE even if I wanted. Which I don't. As far as I'm concerned OE should go to the same place as IE6 and XP - the fires of hell. The world is moving on.

Agreed on the technical issues with OE. The only other thing the user has is Outlook 2000 which is about 11yrs old...

Maybe I should not give him a choice...
