Well, they're targeting people who are daft enough to pay them a fee every month for storage that costs next to nothing, if it's sitting on the desk, so they have to use terms appropriate to that audience.

This is actually normal terminology on the security side of the house.
As part of the targeted audience it makes perfect sense to me, since data integrity is a "branch" of security.

God bless the $%#&@%$ &%$#*@# at microsoft!
We've had office 365 for weeks and weeks. This is my first excursion into it, and what do I get?
All I wanted to do was create a cross-reference, but what do I see?[^]
WTF am I cross-referring to, and what kind of cross-reference am I making?!?
They never fix any bugs, they add unusable cr@p that no-one wants, and they break things that worked perfectly well!
For God's sake, linux wallahs, get your fingers out!

NT, because I have to use screenshots, occasionally, and all this rounded corner and transparent sh1t makes screenshots look like sh1t.

Nothing wrong with going on old school, too much of today's crap is way over bloated to allow people who shouldn't be on computers to not feel stupid

Well yeah... but some of the old is really neat; malware has real problems calling home when your TCP stack has been removed and replace with Banyan Vines and IPX/SPX

As Griff pointed out, it's black on black with a black background, and it lights up black to let you know you've done it.

Do I understand this correctly? You change the theme to be archaic and now it's hard to read? Is that what has you all upset?
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

 No, he chose numbered items to be in the list and numbered titles landed there (starting mid-list (!) from the selected line downwards).

That's because of the formatting of his document, not a bug. IMO.

Yeah, I misinterpreted it. It has only to do with the bad color choice. Nevermind.

The theme doesn't make any difference. It's black text on a dark, navy background, no matter the theme.
And there's nothing archaic about the theme. It's the one that functions best for screenshots.
But I suppose that an amateur like you prefers to have all the stupid "kewl!!! effects!!!" enabled.
Professionals prefer to use their system resources more wisely.
Here[^]. Use that, and you might be able to con passers-by to think you're slightly professional.
Mind you, the MSO team appears to be just as unprofessional as you are -- they certainly chose the right place to put this[^]; it's in the first place anyone would think to look.

I don't know what kind of machine you're working on, but I really have more than enough system resources available that a transparent bar here or sliding animation there in my OS do not make a noticeable difference in overall performance. If you don't like the modern look, that's fine, personal preference and all, but the argument about system resources being wasted seems pretty out of date in 2017, unless company politics force you to work on a toaster that someone soldered a VGA port on.
For screenshots, I'd see it as far easier to just turn off transparency, because that's the only thing I can think of that might influence the result of the screenshot, depending on the background.
That way, you also don't get the "but my screen looks totally different!" support calls from the people you make the screenshots for and who might not be using that theme. You wouldn't believe what non-tech-savvy people get stuck on.
Also, if anything makes you look professional, it should be your skills and results, and not your toggling a setting for Office or which theme you chose for your OS.

I just tore a tab off in VS and dragged it my other monitor... and Windows minimized everything except the tab - including VS.
I'd REAAAALLLLY like to talk to the "designer" and MS who dreamed up this "feature".
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

You must have 'shaken' it. Press and Hold on a window tile bar and moving the mouse quickly back and forth, left to right, will minimize all other windows.
"Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana."
|
|
|
|
|
and if you shake some more, all minimized windows will be restored.
I'd rather be phishing!
|
|
|
|
|
But if you shake it more than twice, you're playing with it

... and if you shake it even more still, the cables come unplugged and you might even break the monitor.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...
