Microsoft pushed an update. Property windows are grey too.

This one is supposed to have been reversed. Make sure your updates are current.

Are you sure about that George?
I remember being told that the interface appearance might evolve further but not that this change would be reversed.

Anyway, I've just run the latest 365 update to 15128.20248 and its still the same shade of grey

Are forum members really the Microsoft QA team? Seems a lot gets by those performing/assuring the official release.
I have same release as Colin referenced.

I may be conflating bugs. To be honest, I've pretty much lost interest in keeping track. I leave that to Daniel Pineault, you and others.

Not that we have any shortage of new bugs....

I got a call from an old client last Friday, asking me to come out of retirement to help troubleshoot a puzzling new error in a venerable database he'd built. It turned out that it was one of the 2022 bugs that had just made its way into whatever update channel he is on.

Ha!
Not sure the '50 shades of grey feature' really counts as a bug.
Whilst nobody seems to like it, that's doesn't make it a bug ... at least not in my opinion.

Not sure if it's a bug, but, if not, then an apparent irritant to many with no communication from Microsoft.
A surprise; a gift; a new feature; a glitch; a distraction......?

I reported it to Microsoft on 2 May and got a reply from a member of the Access team later the same day.
It wouldn't be appropriate to quote the reply but they did promise to look into the issues I had reported.

Darn it, Colin, you KNOW you got everyone curious, so since I have no internal censor for such things, I'll ask.

WHY do you think it would be inappropriate to quote or at least paraphrase the reply?

 

[isladogs]

I reported it to MS using a private email group and the reply from the Access team member was addressed to me but sent to that whole group.
Several other AWF members involved in this thread also receive emails from that group,

In fact, I did paraphrase part of the answer which also referred to evolving changes in Access visuals. That may or may not be a good thing
