Ooh, WindowBlinds is probably creaming you, I uninstalled it months ago due to instabilities I started seeing when using it.

I was so happy to see this tip, but unfortunately I must have something gunked up too much; it doesn't want to work for me. I tried uninstalling WindowBlinds, but to no avail. When I double-click the renamed "luna" msstyle file, it actually defaults to the Default (blue) style. I think when I manually switch it to "Royale" that's when Outlook is tipped off. Oh well!

Fantastic,

I’d just about given up on this. Installing WindowsBlinds caused me all sorts of trouble – not the fault of the program I might add. Its good to see that there are people like Kunal out there.

Thanks again

Thanks! When you first posed the question I didn't think I had the same complaint (mostly since I don't use a TabletPC), but after seeing the answer, I looked more closely at my setup and remembered that I had downloaded the Royale theme but thought the same thing about how Outlook appeared washed-out in it. So I applied this fix from Kunal and it works great! It's the best of both themes in my opinion.

Not a problem, James. Glad to help. :)
