I disabled Windows 10 notifications originally, but I find that I miss the Outlook 'new mail' notifications that I used back when I ran Windows 7, so I have re-enabled notifications for Outlook only. However, the Windows 10 notifications are gargantuan compared to Windows 7 notifications (I'm assuming this is program-agnostic, not specific to Outlook, but maybe I'm wrong):
Windows 10 notification:
I'd much rather have the notification be closer to the size of the red box outlined above, similar to how big the Windows 7 notifications were:
Alternatively, can I at least hide the 'action row' (the "Delete", "Flag", and "Dismiss" actions) from the notification, somehow? I don't ever use the flag functionality of Outlook, rarely want to delete something without reading the full e-mail, and think two buttons to dismiss the notification is rather stupid/poor UI design.
- I've checked in Windows 10 Settings in Notifications & Actions section, but that only turns them off/on
- I've checked the Ease of Access section, but that only lets me set the duration of the notification.
- I've checked in Outlook's Settings in the Mail section, but that is only a full toggle.
- I've even checked in the Outlook-specific Notification settings view, but that doesn't let me resize the notification window either... just shows more toggles between binary or trinary states.
Is this customization possible somehow? I'm open to solutions that include Outlook settings changes, Windows Settings changes, Registry edits, PowerShell scripts, or even 3rd party utilities like Start10 (which I use, but doesn't seem to cover the notification aspect of the Windows 10 start menu/task bar).
I'm running Windows 10 Enterprise version 21H2 and Outlook v2202 from Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise, if that matters.
