How to change the theme of Office 2013

Awful is too nice it's disgusting.

I just suffered the wrath of this hideous update.

No titlebar so all the windows blend in.

No surface for me if this is where this thing is going.

Two years later and nothing has changed.  Look and feel for Office 2013 remains awful.

Office 2013 Themes are terrible. Why the reversion to such an elementary level appearance? The more adult-level colors and options of choice in the previous version are huge stress reducers when you spend most of your 8-hour day working in Outlook, Word, and Excel. Why not give the option to choose from a variety of themes and appearances. As complex as Outlook is, I can't imagine that would be much of a challenge.

Hello Michael and all forum contributor's.  The customer remains always right as displayed by the amount of users which continue to move into the Android phenomenon.  The reason Android is growing by leaps and bounds is because Corporate Microsoft continues to do as many of you state ignore the customer.  The Board of Directors at this point; Office 2013, Surface RT, Windows 8.1 should be afraid, very afraid.  I for one have a Windows 8 Touch Screen PC, and for the money I spent on it I could have gotten a very good android tablet with a very consumer friendly operating system.  After my recent purchase of Office 2013, I have started my search again for a new Android Tablet (PC).  As soon as I can make the change I will as there are many applications which emulate the Office Suite but are more consumer oriented.   As for Microsoft if you believe you don't need to listen to your customer base just remember these names; Pan American Airlines, Eastern Airlines, BlackBerry, SAAB and of course Apple yes Apple the same Apple Microsoft once had to bail out because of misjudging the market in 1997!  So Microsoft, ball is in your court!
