I don't think there's a way to do this without third party software. I
use Style XP which changes the teletubby look of Windows XP and this has
some effect on the toolbars in all of my programs.
But, I teach a lot of classes to different age groups and I used to find
that a LOT of people couldn't see the old raised/pushed-in buttons. I
would keep telling them "You can tell it's turned on cuz it's pushed in"
and they would say "I can't tell it's pushed in".....Now, with the blue
outline, they can see it better. So, I guess, for some, it IS an
improvement.

All of Office 2K2 appears to have adopted a new way of "hilighting" the
"hover" over buttons
Where Office previous used a 3-D raised button effect, Office 2K2 uses
an ugly blue outline and a colored background that interferes with
reading the button.
Is any of this under user control?
Or is this another failed attempt at improving usability that I'll just
have to accept?
