SYMPTOMS
When you view Outlook Today in Microsoft Outlook, the color scheme is different than other Microsoft Windows programs or is not displayed in your default Windows colors.



CAUSE
Because Outlook Today is created using Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and uses a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to link to its page, it displays the colors you chose as the default Internet colors in the Properties of Microsoft Internet Explorer.



RESOLUTION
Change the color scheme in Internet Explorer to use Windows colors.
