| | Re: WLM and Windows 7 Hi, AF. Since Windows Live Mail is a separately-installed application, and not an integral part of any operating system, its appearance in Win7 RC is identical to what I see in Vista. Some parts of the GUI do depend on settings in Internet Explorer, just as they did in Outlook Express and Windows Mail. And many appearance features are set in Display Options and Personalization and other overall settings for the operating system. But they also depend on hardware (graphics boards, monitors, etc.) and on user preferences, so it's impossible to give a generic, fits-all answer. Possible variations are endless. Generally speaking, though, to me on my only computer, WLM looks exactly the same in Win7 as in Vista. RC -- R. C.

For me, comparing with XPsp3, I'm surprised how many differences there are. E.g. highlighting of selected messages in Message list inconsistent rendering of Flag and Watched icons, in particular; though those might have something to do with the fact that my video card is not supported properly by W7. ; ) Robert --- Quote: > > RC > -- > R.

| | Re: WLM and Windows 7 Yes, WLM works on Win 7. I'm using it now. Yes, the colors are faint. I don't use XP or Vista anymore, so I don't know if it looks exactly the same, but it probably does.

| | Re: WLM and Windows 7 Use only Win7 RC (and WLM). Dislike the faint colors. If any one has a solution, I'd appreciate reading such.
