Anyone know how to make the Outlook 2007 “Click for more appointments” button stand out?

I’ve found that Outlook 2007 is a little irritating in the way that it presents the “click for more appointments” indicator in the Calendar view.

The problem occurs in the calendar view when you have more than about 3 appointments. Since it can’t show them all, it shows a small down triangle indicator at the bottom right of that day. The problem is that the indicator is a pale pastel. There is very little contrast between the indicator and the background. Therefore it is VERY easy to miss.

I’ve tried a number of things to get the indicator to stand out but have not had any success.

I’d appreciate it if anyone could reply with a method on how to accomplish this. I am running Vista Home Premium on this particular machine.

Someone needs to let the Microsoft engineers know that appointments are usually pretty important and missing them is a pain.

  1. This is a terrible design flaw. Rather than someone having to notify the engineers, perhaps they work with actual users of the software during the design phase, so that issues like this never appear in a finished product. Another example of what happens when a company monopolizes a market.
