Font colour of Note in Dynamics CRM 2016 - dynamics-crm

Is it possible to change the font colour in the Note activity CRM 2016? Mine is white so users do not see what they are typing.

There is a bug in older versions of CRM where the notes text cannot be seen in newer versions of Chrome and Firefox.
Have you already updated to the latest updated of CRM 2016? I am fairly certain that it has already been fixed by Microsoft, even though I was unable to spot the fix in the release notes. For comparison this was fixed for CRM 2015 in Update 0.3, released in August 2017 (Unable to view notes fields after updating to Mozilla Firefox version 49.0.1).
If you are unable to upgrade to the latest version, the following unsupported fix can be used. From the Dynamics Community:
In Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics
CRM\CRMWeb_static\css\1033\notesv2.css change line #118 to color: #000000;
Replace 1033 with the LCID of the language(s) your users are using.
The technical explanation of what changed in Chrome and Firefox can be seen here: CRM 2016 and Firefox 49 issue with notes.

Outlook desktop users unable to click add-in UI in the taskpane

I work on an add-in for Microsoft Outlook, and recently we’ve received reports from some users that they can no longer click on buttons in the taskpanes of add-ins. Other add-ins, not just ours, have been affected by this issue. Affected users can still open the taskpane without issue. Our taskpane web view loads correctly, but then any clicking inside the taskpane has no effect. We are not seeing console errors when this happens.
To help narrow things down further: we’ve seen this issue occur in Outlook 2019 and Outlook for Microsoft 365 MSO with Office 365 accounts so far. We’ve seen this issue happen when the taskpane is opened from Compose view. One affected user was using Outlook 2019 version 16.0.13127.20266 (32-bit). Affected users have been running Windows 10, version 2004. A team member was able to reproduce the bug by updating to version 2004, but the bug disappeared for them after a subsequent system update on the same version 2004.
Has there been any recent change to add-in taskpane behavior that could be causing this issue?
This issue was fixed, and the fix should be available in Windows build 19043.1266 or later. Note that it is the Windows Build that matters, not the Office build.
We are seeing the same thing since updating to Windows 10 build 2004. For us, the add-in task pane freezes when the user tries to reply to an email (which is also compose view I guess).
Would be good to get an update on this as it is breaking the add-in for our users.
We are using Outlook Version 2009 (Build 13231.20200)
This is Outlook for Microsoft Office 365 MSO (16.0.13231.20146) 64 bit.

Outlook addin not working on Office 2013 or Office 2016

I've submitted my outlook add-in 6 times now and every time the certification failed for a different reason. The last rejection reason I got was that my add-in didn't work on Office 2013 and Office 2016 (which they also refer to as O365 Perpetual).
I develop on a Mac and I have no idea how to go about debugging why my add-in is not working on those older Offices. Can't I just drop support for older Office suites? How could I test these environments?
I'm pretty close to quitting and just not publishing my outlook addin. I have never experienced a worse app review process.
If you want to be published on the Office Store, you need to support all the platforms for the minimum Outlook API Requirement Set in your manifest.
If you do not need to support Outlook 2013 or Outlook 2016, you can set your minimum API requirement set to 1.5, which will drop support for those versions (1.4 was the last version supported by those versions of Outlook). When you submit to the Office Store, please make a note that your minimum API set means that the add-in will not run in those Office clients.

Save a document and quotes appears Dynamics CRM 2015

I'm working in MS Dynamics CRM 2015 on-premise and when files are downloaded from dynamics, the file gets downloaded but that name is getting enclosed with quotes (' '). Ex:'gs1630528410565.pdf'.
This behavior exist only in chrome and works perfectly fine in Firefox and Edge.
This is something to do with the issue introduced in particular chrome version.
As a workaround, use Edge or Firefox. Always you can rename the downloaded file, in case of chrome only work environment.

Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019 - Outlook - notificationMessages.replaceAsync not working

Since updating to the latest version of Windows Outlook I can no longer see the message created by Office.context.mailbox.item.notificationMessages.replaceAsync. In a previous version (can't recall which) it was visible:
In the latest version of Outlook I can see a busy indicator and the text "... Add-in is working on your ... request" but then that disappears but the notification message does not appear.
Edit: This is for Version 1908 (Build 11929.20254 Click-to-Run)

Xamarin.Android, Visual Studio - Designer doesn't work with v7 AppCompat library

I want to create an app with Material Design using Xamarin and Visual Studio. I want to achieve this using the v7 AppCompat library, so my app runs well on older devices.
I have an activity with a toolbar and a button.
But in the Visual Studio Designer the layout isn't as it's supposed to be(No Material theme and no Toolbar):
But the strange thing is that it runs properly on my phone(without any changes made):
How can I fix this?
This functionality is slated to be released in our Cycle 8 release(XVS 4.2.0.378 at the time of writing) to support AAR / Custom Views. You can find a link about this here:
https://developer.xamarin.com/releases/vs/xamarin.vs_4/xamarin.vs_4.2/#Android_Designer
It should be released to Stable shortly. For a non-beta/alpha workaround, I would highly recommend using this VS plugin for the time being which combines using Android Studio and Visual Studio to be the most productive when designing:
https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9f5a516a-f4d0-4228-9d25-d0273abebf33
For a more accurate timeline of these changes, you can view the latest blog article on the Beta channel:
https://releases.xamarin.com/beta-preview-1-cycle-8/
Upcoming Release Dates
Alpha – April 27th, 2016 (Evolve Conference)
Alpha 2 – July 13th, 2016
Alpha 3 – July 27th, 2016
Alpha 4 – Aug 2nd, 2016
Alpha 5– Aug 9th, 2016
Alpha 6 – August 12, 2016
Beta 1 – This Release!
Stable – Fall 2016
Thus if you wanted this functionality in your IDE, you will need to use XVS 4.2.X + in either the Alpha/Beta channels as of the time of writing.
Currently the Visual Studio Designer doesn't show Support Library elements.
You can use Xamarin Studio, which lately improved there Designer very much, and is easier to integrate with Visual Studio than Android Studio.
To download it go to http://download.xamarin.com/studio/Windows/XamarinStudio-6.0.2.73-0.msi (also available through your dashboard in www.xamarin.com under downloads, different versions).
EDIT: Currently you need to change the Cycle to beta (Help -> Check for Updates)
