Microsoft has updated the Outlook Mail and Calendar applications for Windows 10 Mobile with some support for a Dark theme on Windows 10 Mobile. There’s the option to force this on or follow the wider device interface theme, though note that not all screens obey the rules just yet! In particular, reading an email or viewing an appointment will still err…. blind you at night. Ahem.
The changelog for the two apps is:
- Choice of light theme, dark theme and following the accent colour chosen by the user in .
- Removed the option to toggle over to Outlook Calendar (the corresponding button had already gone from Calendar in a previous version, I’m guessing no one actually used these – it’s much more intuitive to access the applications from the Start screen, etc.)
- Access to Settings button is now from the bottom ‘…’ bar.menu.
Here are the two applications in action:
So, Microsoft, a step in the right direction, but please go the extra mile and finish the job!
