Microsoft has started rolling out a Classic Outlook theme for users of Outlook on the web and the New Outlook for Windows.
This new Outlook theme is rolling out as part of a targeted release beginning mid-August and expected to complete by the end of September. The theme will become generally available worldwide between late September and late October.
“When enabled, the setting applies coordinated changes across the Outlook experience, including visual styling, layout, typography, icons, and selected interactions,” Microsoft said in a Microsoft 365 Message Center update.
Once rolled out, the feature will not override any existing administrator configurations and will not automatically migrate users from classic Outlook to the new Outlook.
Microsoft also added that the new user interface style will be enabled by default for some users, but they can toggle it off to switch to the standard theme from Settings > General > Appearance.
“This update is designed to help users who are transitioning from classic Outlook by providing a more familiar experience while maintaining the capabilities of the new Outlook,” it added.
“The setting will be available to all users and can be turned on or off at any time. It will be off by default for most users. As part of a phased rollout, Microsoft will enable the setting by default for some users moving from classic Outlook to the new Outlook. Those users can change the setting at any time.”
New Outlook (also known as Outlook for Windows), which still lacks some Classic Outlook features, replaced Windows Mail as a pre-installed app on Windows 11 and Windows starting in October 2023 and January 2025, respectively.
Microsoft introduced the first preview version of the New Outlook client in May 2022. The app reached general availability for personal accounts in September 2023 (via the September 26 Windows fall update and the Microsoft Store on Windows 11) and for commercial customers in August 2024.
In February, Microsoft announced that it would postpone the new Outlook opt-out phase for businesses from April 2026 to March 2027, giving enterprise admins 12 additional months to prepare a staged migration to the new client.
Microsoft made this decision even though, according to the company, it was “seeing strong and accelerating adoption of new Outlook.”
In July, Microsoft also said that it would disable Outlook Web Access (OWA) Light, a lightweight version of the Outlook Web App email client introduced roughly two decades ago as an alternative to OWA Premium, in a future Exchange Server update.

A 1000m dash at Stakes level has been on the radar for Signature Scent for some time, according to the Ciaron Maher stable.
Despite failing to place in a recent three-year-old event, the stable sees no reason to hesitate in entering the mare in the Group 3 Carlyon Stakes (1000m) at Sandown on Saturday.
A winner on four occasions from eleven starts, the stable considers Saturday’s race as the ideal juncture to test the mare at Stakes level once more.
Jack Turnbull, National Assistant Trainer for Ciaron Maher Racing, pointed out several factors that favour the mare on Saturday.
“The trip is a big plus and she likes soft ground,” Turnbull said. “And she’s had four weeks in between runs this time. We thought she didn’t run to her best last start because we ran her back a bit quick. She was physically fine, but she was first-up off a 10-week let-up and went back (to the races) after two weeks which is a hard thing to do. It’s a bit of a reprieve, four weeks into this. She’s not in great at the weights, but her quality gives her the chance to be competitive.”
Signature Scent was initially purchased for $200,000 at the Australian Easter Yearling Sale, with Yulong subsequently acquiring her for $1 million at the Inglis Ready2Race Sale in 2024.
The mare has a considerable way to go to recoup her purchase price, but a victory on Saturday would be a welcome start.
“Black Type is essential for her,” Turnbull commented. “She’s got a good page, she is Black Type placed, but if she was to be a winner, it would be immense.”
Turnbull indicated that it’s unlikely Signature Scent would race again in two weeks if she performs well on Saturday in the Group 1 Moir Stakes (1000m) at Sandown.
“Especially off the two-week turnaround,” Turnbull stated. “There is the Wylie Handicap in Adelaide on September 12, so if she was to run well, that could be a race we could look at.”
Signature Scent has a prior win at Morphettville and earned a placing in the Listed Redelva Stakes in April.
Ahead of the Carlyon Stakes, the focus is on the racing betting markets available at betting sites.
Peacock has quietly built a library of shows that never got the mainstream spotlight they deserved. I dug through some hidden gems this week, and this week’s lineup ranges from a nun battling an all-powerful AI to a vacation mystery gone sideways to a heartfelt medical drama. Whether you want something bizarre, funny, or deeply human, there is a pick here for you. Here are three overlooked TV series on Peacock worth adding to your watchlist.
We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best free movies, and the best movies on Amazon Prime Video.
Genre: Comedy, drama, sci-fi
IMDb: 7.3/10
Rotten Tomatoes: 92%
Simone (Betty Gilpin) is a motorcycle-riding nun living quietly in a convent. Everything flips when a world-dominating, omniscient AI targets her directly. The AI wagers it will delete itself forever if Simone locates and destroys the Holy Grail. Joined by her rebellious ex-boyfriend Wiley (Jake McDorman), Simone is pulled into a chaotic world of secret societies, religious conspiracies, and old legends.
I recommend this show because it is not bound by one genre and manages to blend faith, technology, and outright absurdity into a premise that feels more reasonable than it is. Betty Gilpin is magnetic as Simone, with brilliant comedic timing and emotional conviction. Every episode of Mrs. Davis takes a wild, unpredictable turn about fifteen minutes in, and the execution hits with razor-sharp satire.

Noah (William Jackson Harper) and Emma (Cristin Milioti), a married couple celebrating their tenth anniversary at a resort, stumble onto an old cell phone buried in the jungle. That discovery pulls them into a bizarre unsolved mystery where two young tourists disappeared fifteen years ago. Uncovering the truth becomes an obsession that threatens to fracture their already fragile marriage.
I really liked how the show ties its true crime mystery to Emma and Noah’s marriage so tightly that solving the case and saving the relationship become the same act. Cristin Milioti brings restless, obsessive energy to Emma that makes her hard to look away from. This underrated TV series on Peacock gets a bit convoluted by the end, but the ride there is consistently entertaining.

Dr. Bashir Hamed (Hamza Haq), a skilled emergency medicine doctor forced to flee war-torn Syria, arrives in Toronto as a refugee alongside his younger sister. Determined to practice medicine again, Bash must redo his entire medical training from scratch, eventually earning a residency at the city’s busiest emergency department under Dr. Jed Bishop (John Hannah). His path is anything but smooth, since his training, background, and life experience set him apart from every colleague around him.
I admire how the show crafts a riveting medical drama by ditching flashy plot twists in favor of realism. Hamza Haq delivers a remarkably soulful performance that gives the series immense weight. What stands out most is the intense, high-pressure medical sequences paired with a deeply moving, respectful portrayal of the immigrant experience.

Liam Potts had not returned home after a night out with friends, sparking a desperate search which entered its fourth day.
The 22-year-old was last seen at about 12.20am on Saturday, August 15, heading into Wylam from Wylam Bridge.
Specialist officers from Northumbria Police’s Marine Unit made the discovery in the river close to Wylam Bridge on August 18.
His family have since paid tribute, they said: “To our Liam. You may no longer be here beside us, but your presence will never be forgotten. Your family, friends and colleagues have all said the same thing, ‘once you met Pottsy, you could never forget him.’
“You really were the heart and soul of any room.
“We are going to miss your smile, your laugh, and the little things that made you who you are. Though time may pass, the love we have for you will never fade.
“You will always be remembered, and forever loved. Rest peacefully, knowing that your memory lives on in all those whose lives you touched.”
They added: “Now to everyone who reached out with kind messages, calls, visits, flowers and thoughtful gestures; please know how deeply grateful we are.
“Your love and support brings us comfort when we need it most; it really has been extremely overwhelming the amount of support we have been receiving, it’s clear to see how loved Liam was.
“Thank you to everyone who tirelessly supported in the search for Liam including all the members of the public. As you will have hopefully already seen, a GoFund Me page has been created to donate to all the amazing volunteers of the Mountain Rescue Teams.
“However, beyond this, we would like to extend our appreciation to Northumbria Police, particularly the diving team that were able to successfully bring our boy home.”
Today (August 22), it was announced that two men have been re-arrested on suspicion of manslaughter following Liam’s death.
The two men, aged 22 and 23, remain in police custody.
A disturbance had been reported the same night Liam went missing at The Boathouse, followed by a collision on Wylam Bridge involving a vehicle and pedestrians.
A man and woman, both in their 20s, sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries in the collision.
Northumbria Police have confirmed they are now investigating whether the two incidents are linked.

U.S. stocks linked to cryptocurrencies soared this week after President Trump reaffirmed support for crypto-friendly legislation in a White House meeting with industry executives. The climb was bolstered by the U.S. Treasury’s surprise move to increase its buybacks of longer-dated bonds, lowering borrowing costs and dinging the dollar.
After a 10-year gap during which he experimented with long-form streaming and glamorous advertisements, director Nicolas Winding Refn made his long-awaited return to feature filmmaking with Her Private Hell. Starring Sophie Thatcher and Charles Melton, the movie divided critics and audiences and grossed $1 million at the box office. Refn’s last film was the 2016 thriller The Neon Demon, which made around $3.5 million; before that, he directed Only God Forgives, which ended its run with $10 million. All of this is to say that Refn hasn’t replicated, nor shown particular interest in replicating, the box-office success of 2011’s Drive. The movie took a decidedly arthouse approach to mainstream entertainment, and grossed more than $80 million at the box office. Drive remains one of the most acclaimed cult classics of the 2010s, and now, the movie that it was modeled on is available to stream on HBO Max for its fans.
However, the film won’t be around for much longer, as it’s slated to be removed from the platform next month. The movie was originally released in 1967, which makes it nearly 60 years old. It follows a silent assassin who must uncover why he’s being targeted. The classic film was directed by Jean-Pierre Melville, and has influenced everything from Refn’s Drive, the John Wick franchise, and Frederick Forsyth’s bestselling novel The Day of the Jackal, which inspired a 1973 movie and a 2024 series. Defined by its cool aesthetic and Alain Delon’s central performance as the suave assassin, the film also influenced Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, Luc Besson’s Léon: The Professional, and the Star Wars series The Mandalorian.
We’re talking, of course, about the landmark neo-noir thriller Le Samouraï. The movie now holds a “Certified Fresh” 92% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Le Samouraï makes the most of its spare aesthetic, using stylish — and influential — direction, solid performances, and thick atmosphere to weave an absorbing story.” Quentin Tarantino has spoken about the movie’s impact on fashion, while Variety critic Peter Debruge hailed it as “the coolest film ever made.” You can watch Le Samouraï on HBO Max until September 30, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

According to a witness, when the owner, a woman, was challenged about what her dog had done, she claimed it hadn’t bitten the man.
The woman and her pet were in Weddall Close, Dringhouses, when the incident happened on Monday, at about 3.10pm.
She was an older white woman, with brown hair in a bob cut, wearing black glasses, a leopard skin print coat, blue shirt and cream trousers.
“The owner is described as being dismissive of what happened and disputed that the male had even been bitten,” the police statement said.
“We have some very good still images of the owner, and we may release them to the public, but we would like the owner to come forward, in the first instance,” the police statement says.
If you know who the woman is or can help police with their investigation email mark.burrows@northyorkshire.police.uk, or can call North Yorkshire Police on 101, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or via their website.

Tesla announced Friday that it is recalling nearly 3 million vehicles in China over concerns that doors may be difficult to open in an emergency, marking the largest automotive recall in the country’s history.
Tesla’s action comes alongside recalls announced by eight other automakers, affecting a combined total of about 4.3 million vehicles in China.
Tesla’s recall is the largest, affecting approximately 2.98 million vehicles.
The U.S. automaker said the recall covers imported and China-made Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X vehicles, according to notices filed with China’s State Administration for Market Regulation.

According to one of the recall notices, Tesla’s electronically operated, retractable door handles could become difficult to operate after a severe collision if the vehicle’s low-voltage system fails.
The company said the resulting problem “could hinder occupants from quickly opening the doors to escape and impede rescue efforts by those outside the vehicle, posing a safety hazard.”
To address the issue, Tesla said it would “affix warning labels” to affected vehicles and remotely upgrade its window-control software so the windows automatically lower following an accident.
Tesla also issued a recall addressing problems with driver-monitoring systems in certain vehicles, which are designed to help ensure drivers remain alert and ready to take control of steering or braking when necessary.

The automaker said it would provide a software upgrade and “in-cabin camera monitoring” to help drivers remain vigilant.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| TSLA | TESLA INC. | 362.86 | +17.73 | +5.14% |
Tesla said it will contact owners of vehicles that cannot receive the fixes through remote software updates to schedule service appointments.
Other automakers announcing recalls included Xiaomi, Leapmotor, Xpeng and Geely Holding.

The announcement comes after Tesla issued two recalls in May.
The automaker recalled roughly 175 Cybertrucks over concerns that wheel studs could separate, potentially causing wheels to detach.

Tesla also recalled more than 218,000 Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X vehicles because of delayed rearview camera images that could increase the risk of a crash.

What should you do with $500 to spend on gear?
That’s a question I recently posed to our trio of equipment experts: Johnny Wunder, Jake Morrow and Jack Hirsh.
These gents live and breathe the gear they write about each day for this website, and there is perhaps no more informed group than them when it comes to what the pros are playing, and the latest and greatest ball, club and shaft technology — not to mention new and notable advancements in footwear, apparel and other accessories.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, when it came to extracting the greatest value from $500, all three Js ended up going with a club. Below, you can read their picks and reasoning, and if you feel inspired, you can click the links to purchase your own iteration of their selections, too.
“This club is still, in my opinion, the most versatile ‘tweener club’ to fill the gap between your 3-wood and longest iron,” Wunder said. “It’s efficient, fast, Tour-proven and everyone should at least give it a look. It’s one of one.”
The Apex UW is designed for serious, avid golfers seeking the perfect blend of a fairway wood’s power and a hybrid’s versatility. Engineered with Tour feedback and loaded with performance technologies, it delivers a higher, more neutral ball flight with the control all players demand. TUNGSTEN SPEED WAVE A dynamic, 41g+ tungsten wave structure positions mass low and forward, enhancing ball speed and launch—particularly on low-face strikes where players tend to lose distance. STEP SOLE DESIGN A redesigned sole with a stepped geometry reduces turf interaction, helping to maintain swing speed through impact and promoting more consistent contact across different lies. TRIAXIAL CARBON CROWN The lightweight carbon construction allows for strategic weight redistribution, creating a more forgiving clubhead while refining launch and spin for greater shot-making control. TOUR-INSPIRED SHAPING Designed with input from the world’s best, the compact, refined shape and neutral face angle inspire confidence at address and deliver workability from tee to turf.

“I will never not recommend a Ping hybrid to players,” said Morrow. “They’re easy to launch, they’re versatile, and they’re point and shoot. I’ve even got a 5-hybrid in my bag now because it just makes life so much easier. Throw your choice of shaft in it and for under $500 you’ll have a weapon in your bag for the next 5 years if you want.”
The G440 hybrids appeal to a variety of skill levels, each engineered to deliver different ball- flight characteristics – from the slightly fade-biased 2 hybrid for off-the-tee performance to the draw-inducing 5, 6 and 7 hybrids that help optimize gapping. They all share a new, shallower and thinner face design, which improves face contact for more ball speed and higher-launching shots that hit and hold the green. FLIES HIGH LANDS SOFT Optimized launch and spin ensure distance with stopping power. FREE-HOSEL DESIGN Saves weight to lower CG, optimize launch/spin and increase forgiveness. ROUNDED SOLE Ensures pleasing face angle in all hosel settings CARBONFLY WRAP Lightweight carbon crown saves weight to increase MOI, lower CG.

“Once Ping explained to me their Onset concept for their new Scottsdale TEC putter, I immediately asked for one and I’ve had one of the best putting seasons I can remember,” Hirsh said. “This putter just releases exactly the way I want it to.”

Netflix‘s library goes far beyond the algorithm-driven hits everyone already knows about. This is why I dug through some overlooked titles to create this week’s lineup. It ranges from a chilling historical mystery to a horror film rooted in real trauma to a dark comedy. Make sure you add these three Netflix movies to your watchlist this weekend.
We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best free movies, and the best movies on Amazon Prime Video.

Lib Wright (Florence Pugh), an English nurse in 1862 Ireland, is sent to a remote village to observe an 11-year-old girl who has reportedly survived four months without eating. As religious fanatics gather to witness a potential miracle, Lib fights to uncover the dangerous truth behind the fasting.
Florence Pugh gives a mesmerizing performance that holds the entire mystery together. I also liked the striking cinematography, using candlelit shadows to build an atmosphere heavy with quiet dread. Director Sebastián Lelio made a bold choice, having a narrator directly address the audience while opening and closing on a film set, reminding viewers they are watching a constructed story about the power of stories themselves.

Bol and Rial (Sope Dirisu and Wunmi Mosaku), a refugee couple who narrowly escaped war torn South Sudan, are placed in a run down house on the outskirts of London as part of the UK asylum process. As they try to adjust to their new life, a sinister presence inside the house begins tormenting them, forcing them to face the horrific guilt of their harrowing journey.
I liked how this film treats the supernatural scares and its real world horror, racism, and isolation as equally frightening rather than picking one to be the “real” threat. Wunmi Mosaku and Sope Dirisu both deliver performances that ground. Despite holding a perfect 100% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, its 72% audience score suggests some viewers found its themes heavier than expected for a horror movie.

Ruth (Melanie Lynskey), a depressed nursing assistant already worn down by the world’s constant small cruelties, comes home to find her house burglarized and her grandmother’s silver stolen. When the police show little interest in helping, Ruth enlists her eccentric, nunchaku wielding neighbor Tony (Elijah Wood) to help track down the thieves herself. What starts as a minor act of self-assertion spirals into something more violent and dangerous than either of them anticipated.
Melanie Lynskey plays Ruth’s slow transformation from passive frustration to active fury with total conviction, making her rage seem reasonable. Her chemistry with Elijah Wood makes their vigilante mission absurdly fun. I enjoyed how confidently the film shifts tone, from quirky comedy to violence without losing the plot.
