How to change the theme of Office 2013

I found the way to change the colors!!!

Here is what you need to do step by step to change your colors and restore your setting to what it used to be. I guarantee you will be happy!

Step 1: Backup all your data before you continue. This step is extremely important as you will need all your data later.

Step 2: Take your laptop(s) to the nearest shooting range and make sure that you invite any of your friends with you to do the same. It will be much more fun this way and even better if you take a video of it and post it on You tube for all to enjoy. (Note: If you do take the video, make sure you post the link in this thread so that we can enjoy it too!)

Step 3: Make sure you open your laptop with MS Office 2013 open in all its glory, with the brightness set at the highest level.

Step 4: Place the laptop in the 100 yard range marker.

Step 5: Shoot at will and enjoy the fire works!!

Step 6; This is where we restore the colors of MS Office to their long lost glory days.... Go to the nearest Apple store and purchase the Machine of your choice and budget. Make sure that you purchase a copy of MS Office 2011 with it and have the Apple set it up for you for free.

Step 7: Restore all your files previously backed up on step 1 to your new computer.

Step 8: Open MS Office Windows 2011 and voila! You have now restored the colors on your MS Office software

I did this and in addition I boosted the laptop with 500GB SSD and 16GB Ram in conjunction with VM Ware Fusion 7 and now I can open Windows virtual machines from Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Win 7, Win 8 and Linux & Ubuntu Operating Systems and share my files with all of them.

For the past 3 months I have not had to open the disastrous copy of Office 2013 which resides in my Windows 8 VM because MS Office 2011 on the Mac works flawlesly!

Given that several years of complaints have not generated a solution, I am not hopeful, but I would like to add my name to this of those that are dissatisfied with the limited themes available in Office 2013.  Microsoft really dropped the ball on this one.

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.

Seriously, when is Microsoft going to do something about this? How hard can it be?

I wish I could get refunded. I'm using openoffice until Microsoft starts caring about user satisfaction.

If you have seen the latest release of Skype, you know that this type of theme is the direction Microsoft has decided to take. Hundreds of complaints mean nothing to them. Too bad for those of us who WERE loyal to Microsoft.
