Hello,
I have noticed that some applications seem to have stopped using the windows
system settings/preferences. Even MS has violated this rule with Office
2007, the colors of Office do not match my other windows (Not sure where
this blue is from.).
I find it annoying when applications do not use my color themes and fonts.
I would even argue that websites should follow the host system settings or
at least support it. I know this is more of a stretch for websites, but some
people's ideas for colors schemes just don't work for everyone. Some
browsers allow you to force system settings/preferences, but typically the
site becomes unusable. I think ASP.NET may handle this better than most.
Some of these settings are also used for people with disabilities.
Anyway, just wondering about everyone else's thoughts on this topic.
I also feel MS needs to expand on the possible system settings/preferences;
they may have done some of this in Vista already.
Thanks,
Schneider
