Greetz!

I'm not sure where the Visio 2013 forum is so hopefully you all can help me out in here!

I am using Visio 2013 Professional and would like to use some stencils downloaded form office.com, I unzipped 'Stencil_ModernUI_Microsoft.vss and copied them into C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\Visio Content\1033

I can add them to my Stencil palette and once added they show up correctly there. However, when I drag them to my diagram surface the details are lost and they appear as solid shapes. FOr instance the Third Party Integration shape appears like this:      

I'm a noob at Visio so hopefully this is a simple setting. Any ideas? I did change the transparency and that helped a bit but they're not as crisp as they're intended to be.

Here is what the shape looks like on the palette:     

Thanks!

Hi,

Do you mind telling us which link are you using to download the stencils? I download the Visio Stencil 2013 : SharePoint - Lync - Exchange - Windows here, it worked well for me. Please see the below image:

For your first image, I found/tested, the issue occur when we applied a theme.

Please go to Design tab>Clean the theme, it would be display well.

Hope it's helpful.

Regards,

Hi George,

Yes, this does work for the Stencil_ModernUI_Microsoft but then I will be limited to using on ly this stencil as shapes from other stencils lose their coloring. At least the mystery is solved!

Thanks!
