Office 2007 color setting is not accessible

[KONDOU, Kazuhiro]

Hi, folks.

I installed Office Pro 2007 beta 2 (JP) on Windows XP. I'm using
original theme for found out inaccessible color specification
on applications.
http://www.alib.jp/files/black frame.Theme (based on XP Classic theme)

Please try this theme (and save your theme before appling this theme


The new "Ribbon" is very good interface, but some ribbon's controls
have inaccessible color specification.
ex) font, font size, indent, line spacing on Word.
table styles on Word/Excel.
all drop down control in (Applications) option dialog

These control's background color are specified by theme. But
foreground color is using on system default color.


In others, no matches foreground/background color setting auto
shape properties dialog in PowerPoint 2007. This is very terrible.

(This is japanese version dialog)

This control's foreground color is 'Window Text'. But, background
color is not 'Window'.

# I found a little bug.
# 1. open PowerPoint 2007.
# 2. open new slide.
# 3. change theme by display settings
# 4. the slide is hidden.


The other side; Auto shapes has 'White' background color by default.
But, these has no 'Black' foreground color. So, these has 'Window Text'
foreground color. And we cannot set 'Black' foreground color for
default shapes setting.
I'm inconvinient Office 2003 color setting. I set font color black,
black, black ... and black everyday. ;-(

PowerPoint's auto shapes has no system setting color by default.
Please adopt this setting to Word, Excel and others.

This is a known bug and should be fixed for RTM (Release to Manufacturing).
