The color scheme in Outlook makes different "Show Time As" (e.g. show time as
Free) almost indistinguishable from Busy. It almost defeats the purpose.
The bar on the left that indicating the type of the appointment should have a
different color from the main appointment color.
When making a suggestion, you should always include the version of Outlook that you're referring to.
