Microsoft Office support?

June 8, 2020 9:44:38 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Just installed Curtains beta 5, and this is fun and interesting.

Are there any plans to support Microsoft Office programs?  I have Office 365, so I use Outlook, Word, Excel and OneNote a lot.  So far no obvious signs that these are supported, or do I have to change some settings to get this to work?

The office titlebars are entirely custom.  They do not support styles on the main window titlebars.  Child windows may use standard titlebars however which will support styles.

I understand the office skinning is ....different.   However it would be nice if Shadows worked on office at the least.   They dont currently, and it throws off the look of things.

Unfortunately thats a Microsoft decision.

They implemented their own fake shadow windows and opted out of the OS theme.

The good thing about standards is that everyone has their own.

Any chance y'all might take that up as a personal challenge one day and find the workaround? The Office dev/marketing organism has needed regular public discipline since they began the campaign to de-skill Office power users back when the accursed ribbon was rolled out.

I'd definitely pay another chunk-o-bucks for something that got me free of the intensifying ugliness that is 365 and gave me back the customization functions (especially floating toolbars) that made pre-ribbon Office so kick-ass for folks who took some time to learn it.
