How to change the theme of Office 2013

This is a blunder.....The world still works on real computers like Laptops and PCs and not the silly tablets and not including color scheme changes would take the least amount of memory a MS product hogs on any system. On the install it should ask if this is a tablet or REAL PC. Most office environments are all Flourescent lighting and not having color contrast kills the eyes while working in MS's environment.

same here, I upgraded my computers back to office 2010 and Windows 7. I’ve been advising all my clients(computer consultant) and friends to stay away from both until MS get over their identity crisis and hopefully get back to their senses before is too late. If anyone ask my advice for a new computer, I recommend to get Windows 7 if it is for work(Dell and other still offer it as default OS for their non-disposable computers) and Office 2010. Otherwise to get a Mac with Google Drive, else to try Kingston’s office or iWork. All which are free and would suffice for most general users functionality needs. To add insult to injury, any search you do in Office 2013 you’ll see users complaining about all the short comings of the new (windows 3.1) GUI, but nothing from MS admitting or realizing that it is poorly designed, and they will address the users “concerns” by providing additional (functional) themes.

@ Microsoft: I have nothing against change and innovation. And I do believe that a MS Office GUI refresh was long overdue, but this is just plain BAD, and ugly! Upgrades, especially paid ones, should make people want to get it because of new features and improvements. So stop sabotaging one of the few things you have going by crippling it into

compatibility with your half-baked mobile OS. In case you were not aware Apple uses a different OS for their mobile devices than the one they use in their computers.

My comments might sound silly and snarky, but the way you guys been doing things for the last few years … :/

Please stop playing catch up in the mobile OS by trying to appeal to people that don’t care about your products not matter what, by **** off the people that still are with you. Instead lead by innovation by listening to YOUR customer needs and wants.

I rolled my computers back to Office 2010...."Oh what a relief it is."  Based on my experience with Office 2013 and reviews I've read, I'm also holding off any future OS upgrades.  Windows 7 works fine and I see find no compelling reason to upgrade to Windows 8.  This is only the second time in nearly 20 years that I've NOT upgraded my OS.  The other time was when Microsoft rolled out Windows Me.  I'm also switching over to other non-Microsoft products where there is a worthy and more visually appealing competitor (and the list is growing); e.g. I now use Safari on my PC rather than Windows Explorer.  Took a bit of getting used to, but worth the learning curve in the long run.  

Heck of a way to run a company who's entire business model is based on being the world's #1 software developer for operating systems and office automation.

At least you should let the costumer choose the color, that white, gray, dark gray color scheme is awful for the eyes, it make your sight be tired faster,
