How to change the theme of Office 2013

They're not adding anymore colour to the interface in the next iteration, in fact, they're adding only one more theme and that's dark grey. They're ignoring the masses of feedback they've received against the drastic interface change between 2010 and 2013. They don't care what you think, because their vision is Metro.

Not surprised, MS designers are into self-gratification NOT customer application.  I believe they stopped Beta testing MS software years ago as their customer feedback was contrary to their myopic design goals.  I see lots of narcissism in software designers today, shame on them.  My next computer might have to be an Apple.

 I see lots of narcissism in software designers today, shame on them.  

Equal parts narcissism and justifying the security of their jobs. Once a design is perfected it is extremely difficult to keep iterating on and thus the designers are no longer required or necessary. 

Removing things, simplifying things etc.. is their only justification for their continued existence in gainful employment.

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

Just to throw in my two cents... these three options are lousy.  I can repeat every other person's complaint on this thread... horrible, horrible, horrible... there is simply not enough distinct color variation between the white and grey... Here's a novel thought, make the gray - BLACK!

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???
