Outlook '07 Themes

[Guest]

Hello,

I've just purchased Outlook '07 and can't find more than the 3 (blue,
silver, black) pre-installed themes. I'm running XPsp2 and Outllok doesn't
pick up my general theme, a Brushed visual style.

Is there a way to install additional themes or am I stuck with these 3 for
now (ever)?

thanks,

wOoZ

There are only the 3 themes in Office/Outlook. If you get a commercial program that will skin Windows, it may also skin Office but I am not sure since I don't use any "themes" outside of the supplied ones.

Thank you for your reply Ms. Milly Staples,

Yes, I skin Windows through VisualStyles, an MS supported method.

It's weird because all the pop-up boxes within OL'07 pick up my theme, but
the Title and Status Bar do not. My question should have been phrased to ask
if this was a bug, not will there ever be theme colors other than blue,
black, silver. IE7 picks it up, but these are the only two '07 products that
I use, for now.

It was installed over OL '03 with a copy bought direct from Amazon.
Still curious,
