How to change the theme of Office 2013

Well said, Alex. I was one of those Microsoft devotees who posted two years ago and all I got with everyone else was the BS about them monitoring "pain points". It's really hard to believe that even a company as rich as Microsoft can just ignore their customers. There are numerous posts about companies who are not upgrading thousands of their computers because their staff hate the limited themes. How many millions of dollars have Microsoft lost and not given a hoot? The saddest part of their arrogance is the ignored posts from people who have vision problems that cause painful eyestrain with the horrible themes. Hard enough to fathom why Microsoft doesn't care about losing millions of dollars and alienating thousands of customers, but that they have no compassion for those with vision issues is truly despicable.

Thank you for the feedback on Office’s new look. We are actively collecting, sorting and reading through feedback on Office 2013’s design and User Experience. As the audience for Office 2013 grows, we are being mindful of patterns and pain points that emerge from user feedback. While we do not have any additional Themes planned at this time, it is an issue we are watching very closely.

More than two years on now and I was just forced to upgrade to 2013 (by an over-eager admin). Needless to say, nothing has been done about the "themes". This is what happens when a company becomes so powerful that they have no need to compete in the marketplace.

"Customer satisfaction? Fooey! What do we care? Just keep feeding them occasional customer support BS and keep crushing any competition with unfair business practices and they'll have to keep buying our products! MWAH HA HA HA HAAAAAAA!"

Really, Microsoft, this product's user interface is a giant step backwards. Added to all the functions in Office you had already made (in 2010) 2 or 3 steps away instead of the one it used to take, I honestly can't figure out what you think you're doing. Please fix this attitude and understand that what people living in the information bubble of the Microsoft campus think is cool is quite likely unrelated to what the average user will find acceptable.

More themes! More personalization!

I NEED MORE CHOICES OFFICE 2013 THEME COLOR.

Have you found ANYONE who likes these lousy color schemes???????????????  I agree with Michael.  The

lack of color is mentally numbing and hurts my eyes.  You have so many brilliant people working on various MS products.  How was it possible to get something this stupid even started?  Not being so brilliant myself, I can clearly see that someone want to add this TERRIBLE scheme if they enjoyed punishing themselves but WHY was it necessary to eliminate EVERY other option???
