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

    Funny. I notice that since I have been vocal in criticising 365, Microsoft have suddenly decided to change my "services agreement". Apparently, all I have to do to accept the "changes" is use the product after July 31 2014. Funny that! I have therefore already accepted whatever "change" they have come up with to silence my criticism. I suggest that Microsoft should invest its time in reforming Office 365 colour schemes instead of trying to intimidate and gag those who are understandably criticising it.

    So 2 1/2 years later and everybody still hates the three choices, MS can't add a few color selections?

    My son is the only one now using the 365 subscription and I'm not actually certain that he actually is any more. I am certainly not. I'm using 2010. I will be cancelling my subscription to 365 as soon as I can and Microsoft can shove it wherever loused-up, anti-social software is traditionally shoved.

    Folks,

    I piped into this thread on February 13, 2013 after going through the surprise of seeing just how bad the themes are for Office 2013.  After several conversations with the Microsoft support folks it became apparent that there is not a quick fix for this issue.  Bottom line, the themes are buried in the source code.  There ain't no "registry hack" or other quick fix for this.

    My answer was to step back to Office 2010 which works fine for me.  I would encourage others that have this issue to consider making that change also.  No need to bang your head against the wall.  Microsoft is NOT going to fix this one in my view.  If you are tied to a corporate edition of Office 2013 you may want to put pressure on your administrators to back out and reinstall Office 2010.

    Just my 2 cents worth.
