@MrFussyfont I haven't, sorry! ๐ฌ The gradient trick works in Win Mail, but you need to set CSS position (i.e. to relative) on the button and then deal with the resulting issues. You can use mso-position-horizontal: center / left / right to handle the horizontal alignment though.

I delved into the wild world of Outlook 365 for Windows and its wacky text colour changes in Dark Mode โย these are the results! #emailgeeks https://t.co/VHFggZHRJW
@spodrock @pompeii79 That is annoying โ was it working previously? Sometimes I have had fails because I targeted the wrong element etc. But yes, the older versions of Outlook definitely hate the gradient trick, so gte mso 16 is important.
And some follow-up good news: apparently Litmus was quite out of date, so the first tip *should* be fine to use inside VML as well. I'll need to review and add a note to the article after I double-check.
@megbosh Ah thank you! It's honestly all just mad experimentation, trial and error. I'd say it's mostly from digging around in Word-generated HTML and yes, looking into the Office and OOXML specs. And some of it is spider senses I guess, built up from ~10 years of fighting with Outlook!
