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

    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.

    I'd honestly be surprised if it were resolved before next year.  Had they planned on dealing with this quickly, it would likely already have been done.

    The difficult part - writing the code that makes the changes - is finished. We know it is because we can go from white to gray.   So it's just a matter of distributing a patch with a payload of color palette values.

    But, right now, a color change problem is not a priority. I mean, I'm not the only IT director who's going to skip Office 2013 unless, at a minimum, Outlook is made dependable.

    And also, MS decided to drop support for Access Data Projects so, I may just take the budget I had for deploying Office 2013 and spend it on converting my ADPs........Probably to an Oracle platform. I know I'm not the only one doing that.

    But if you want a really good idea of how little MS cares what you and I and the other 50 or so people on this thread think about the colors in Office 2013, go on over to Cnet.com and have a laugh over the top 10 desktop customization downloads - there's upwards of 1.5 million downloads of some of the various Start Menu replacements people are using to fix Windows 8.

    And that's just Cnet.   lolololol
