You can change the theme in Office by clicking File > Account page in any Office product with the exception of Outlook. In Outlook, Click File > Office Account to change the theme.

There are three themes available in Office 2013:

White - Default

Light Gray

Dark Gray

    I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    Unless it's the headlamp of an incoming train ??

    Microsoft just released roadmap of their Office365 products.

    See in here:

    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/office-365-roadmap-FX104343353.aspx

    User section IN DEVELOPMENT

    CUSTOM THEMES

    All customers will now have the capability to create custom themes for

    their end users.  This includes a clickable custom logo and customizable

    colors for top navigation bar, menu icons and text and the Office 365

    logo.

    Not sure if it will be applicable to those using Office 2013 ?

    WT29 - out of pure curiosity, how long have you worked with Office 2013 for?

    Absolutely agree with everything that has been said.

    The white on white scheme is just hard work. The "Dark Grey" is hardly any better. About time we - you remember us, the customers - were offered some relief.  3 Theme choices is just arrogant.

    Another gripe - WHY ARE THE MENU ITEMS ALL IN UPPER CASE? SORT OF LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING AT USERS ALL THE TIME. Do you enjoy this?

    Like my decision to return to Windows 7 - honestly.... I tried for 3 months but gave up the day I couldn't figure out how to print a pdf from the reader app - I'm going back to Office 2010 until MS stop pandering to some stupid style guru and give us the choices we need. Really dumb stuff like a simple check box on W8 like "Are you on a tablet?" and some reasonable choices of we don't have to squint to read Office documents.

    DECEMBER 2012!!!!!!!!!

    **We are actively collecting, sorting and reading through feedback on Office 2013’s design and User Experience.....**it is an issue we are watching very closely.

    How long does it take to "collect, sort and read"???? Isn't a year and 7 months long enough for you or are you just plain slow! Enough with the "watching" and get some ACTION done already.
