I was using Outlook 2003 on Windows XP. Now I installed it on Windows 7, where I use the standard Aero Glass user interface (and would like to continue using it).

Now the toolbars and other internal areas in outlook (e.g. email view) appear in a baby-blue background. Only the outer border of the window is in the Aero Glass color scheme.

How do I change the background color of the toolbars etc. (get rid of the baby-blue)?

The different colors of the Outlook 2003 interface were obtained from the theme colors of Windows XP;

• Luna (Blue, Olive Green and Silver)
• Royale/Energy Blue (shipped with later versions of Tablet PC and Media Center Editions of Windows XP)
• Royale Noir/Zune (as a download).

As Windows Vista (and continued in Windows 7) changed to a different method of theming, this integration won’t work anymore and the Outlook/Office 2003 color scheme will default to blue.

Disable visual themes for Outlook 2003

There is a workaround for this which will give you a classic gray look instead;
Right click on the Outlook 2003 shortcut-> Properties-> tab Compatibility-> select: Disable visual themes
