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

    First Windows 8, then Office 2013 ... I really don't get it. Are Microsoft's employees tired and bored of being rich and now are trying to sabotage their products? Is anybody in charge there with some common sense? Do they use desktop computers to do work?  do they use their own products or have they all migrated to Mac and Google Apps as a lot of people are doing? ... don't get me started about the clueless,  clown in charge ...

    anyway, I tried to get used to the 2013 UI for a couple of days but I can't.  I searched the web looking for any 3rd party app that would allow me to skin it back to the 2010 UI, or even something better with more choices and brighter colors, but no luck.

     I can't deal with this Windows 3.1 UI anymore, it hurt my eyes and it hurt my spirits  :s  I’ll revisit it once they come out with a fix (office 2013.1?) or I’ll wait for 2014 if I haven’t move on to non-ms solution...

    I am done. These themes are hideous. You obviously do not give a flip about your customers desires, so tell me, what do I have to do to get a refund? I have only had Office 2013 for a few months. I want a refund ASAP! Please respond.
