O.P. RE: Go back to previous version?
Actually, CookieRevised, I did everything you said, and when I reinstalled using the link for Messenger 8 it still gave me the horrible 2009 version. Typical of Microsoft - this software creates registry entries that don't delete and don't allow users to go back to previous versions.
And I'm sorry, but the garish blue, and the green icon outline, is VERY different from the old version. These colours are an appalling choice by whoever did the design. Dyslexics, epileptics, those who have recently had Lasik surgery and people with other vision problems are very ill-served by this design choice.
I finally did discover how to change the colours in *all* windows, but this interface is still a retrograde step from the previous version. It's ugly and unappealing.
Finally, I apologise for posting in the wrong forum, but in my defence it is not easy to find the correct forum. I spent some time searching before finding this place.
