microsoft onedrive for business review 2016

Many of the useful features in Office 2016 are in all the applications, like the improvements to the File menu. One small change signals yet another piece of Microsoft’s ‘metro’ design language chipped away the ribbon tabs are no longer in capitals. Getting bigger: even the mouse mode ribbon in Office 2016 takes up more space than the touch mode ribbon in Office 2013 The compact view designed for mouse users takes up about a millimetre more space than the big and finger-friendly touch mode in Office 2013, on a 1920 x 1080 resolution 13-inch screen with the ribbon expanded, and the 2016 touch mode ribbon and toolbar take up another couple of millimetres, eating away at the space you have for documents. If you prefer something more subtle, you can choose a white interface – with or without background images – or high-contrast dark grey or black themes.īut whether white, grey or brightly coloured, the title and ribbon tab bars in Office 2016 stand out just a little bit more because they’re not just more noticeable – they’re also just a little bit bigger. The default Colourful theme picks up the solid slabs of colour in Windows 10, painting them across the title bar and the tab bar on the ribbon so that you absolutely can’t miss that the window which is blue at the top is a Word document, and the windows that’s green at the top is your spreadsheet.

Microsoft calls Office 2016 more colourful – we’d call it the slightest bit chunkier as well. The bright new Office 2016 themes help you tell applications apart
