I smoke weird cigars and am not a Designer,
But the person who designed this Forum sure has an interesting take on UX.
After only 2 hours here on network.office.com my mousewheel got so hot I had to leave it for an hour.
So I smoked yet another of those weird cigars....
Then spend some hours in Stylish (or use StyleBot or any other Browser plugin that can paste CSS in any page)
My CSS is Public Domain:
https://userstyles.org/styles/130655/microsoft-network-office-com-css-enhancements
It reduces font-sizes, alternates background colors, removes UX elements I really don't care about,
and it highlights, with my own applied gold/silver badges, the persons that seem interesting.
All in CSS only
So my screen now looks like:

aNow I am ready for those thousands of questions here in this Forum

Thank You!! This is a big improvement!
Is there any way you can reduce the height of the various blue and white bars at the top of the page?

We appreciate this is a work in progress and you are making continuous improvements on usability, we look forward to the changes to come. I am not sure what you mean that the blue bars are "standard Microsoft branding". Here are several prominent Microsoft sites that have much thinner top areas and look more polished:

Thanks,
Rob.MichaelHolste have a look at the customizations you have done in the Office stream forums and other ones built on top of Lithium...it seems the platform allows to do quite branding

Hey Juan, yes it is possible. Our guidance from corp was that we needed to follow a consistent Microsoft look.
