Office 365 new look: on and off!

For a few weeks, I have been enjoying the new look of Office 365 in Outlook, Word, Excel, OneNote, etc. However, for the last week or so, depending on the days, it reverts back to the "old" look. I tried rebooting as one suggested elsewhere, but it did not help. Then, the next day, I suddenly get the "new" look again for a few days until it reverts back to the "old" look for no apparent reason.

Has anyone else experienced this peculiar behaviour?

There is no new look, you would need to upload a pic of what you see, so that peoples know what you mean

Palcouk,

You must be kidding, right? It is all over the place on the Internet since about September!

Above, the original look. Below, the new revamped look.

You probably also want to take a look at the following blog post from the Microsoft Design team:

Like Bruno above, I experience the same exact problem.

It is pretty powerful to contend that there is "no new look." How would you describe the following? To me, there are enough differences to justify calling that a "new look."

Although what the pal is calling "old" and "new" look is in fact called the "Fluent Design," it is quite obvious IMHO to figure out he was referring to that! My two cents.

So Palcouk, can you assist with my original question now that you saw what I was referring to?

Hi, Phillippe,

You may disagree with Palcouk's reply but it is not Abuse. If you do feel he's been arrogant, you may contact msftmodatmicrosoft.com.
