Will the 2011 release include full Office 2010 look and feel?
posted

Can you confirm or give any indication which of the following Office 2010 features will be included in the 2011 release

  • BackStage: support for a backstage menu
  • Styling: the current Office 2010 theme does not match that of Office 2010, closer to the default Win7 style. Specific inconsistencies we observe:
    • Expand collapse button, docked to the right next to the help button
    • Continuous background gradient fill from top of title bar to bottom of ribbon tabs
  • UI for customizing the QAT
  • UI for customizing the Ribbon
  • Direct support for displaying a help button.

The first two are the most criticial for us to be able to deliver a true Office 2010 look and feel to our applications.

Thank you
