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

    wow

    They decided to bring bark the BLACK theme for Office 16 !

    I'll forgive Microsoft if Office 2015 really looks like this picture below:

    Except maybe for:

    • All caps menus
    • Wasted space between the items and ribbon size too high

    At least color is awesome compared to 2013

    I also agree that Microsoft needs to be more transparent about customer feedback and their roadmap of planned changes/enhancements moving forwards.  I work for a software company and there is no way our clients would let us get away without this simple communication.  There is a reason why Apple and Linux are the alternate choice and lead the way in customer satisfaction.

    Come on Microsoft - give the people what they are asking for!!!

    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.

    Jennie, you wrote that 10 months ago - people are still complaining so I think we can take it that users do not particularly like these themes. 

    When will something be done?
