MORE INFORMATION
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 select as the default Internet colors.
To make these color settings the same as your Windows colors, follow these
steps:
- Click Start, point to Settings, and click Control Panel.
- Double-click the Internet icon.
- On the General tab, click Colors.
- Click to select Use Windows Colors.
