to big title bar in Office 365 update 2408
Hi all, since a couple of days I have to work with the ugly, annoying, awful, ... user interface in Office 365. The title bar size became horrible large. Compared with an explorer window from Win 10...
How about this:
1. Disable the New Experience:
-
- Click on the megaphone icon next to the window controls in the top-right corner of the screen.
- Scroll to the bottom of the "Coming Soon" section and look for a checkbox named "Try the new experience."
- Toggle it off and restart all Office apps.
2. Registry Hack:
-
-
- Open the Registry Editor (regedit).
- Navigate to `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office
-
\[Office Version]\Common\ExperimentConfigs\ExternalFeatureOverrides
- Add or modify the following keys:
"Microsoft.Office.UXPlatform.FluentSVRefresh"="false"
"Microsoft.Office.UXPlatform.FluentSVRibbonOptionsMenu"="false"
"Microsoft.Office.UXPlatform.RibbonTouchOptimization"="false"
- Restart your computer and Office apps
3. For Coloring the Icons
There isn't a built-in way to colorize the icons in the title bar. However, you can try changing the Office theme to "White" which might display some color in the Quick Access Toolbar icons:
Open any Office application.
Go to File > Account > Office Theme and select "White".
Hi, thanks for replying. But: Nope! That was the solution for the older version of Office, but not for Office 365 update 2408.
