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

    Office 2013 is a huge step down to an amateurish, adolescent appearance. I don't know what they were thinking by downgrading to such a low-level and unappealing design.

    I just installed Office 2013 for a company training and am shocked!

    It seems that the same guy that wanted to replace Hotmail.com with Outlook.com is calling the shots with Office. (Either that or MS Executive Staff has been infiltrated by a Mole).

    I found the way to change the colors!!!

    Here is what you need to do step by step to change your colors and restore your setting to what it used to be. I guarantee you will be happy!

    Step 1: Backup all your data before you continue. This step is extremely important as you will need all your data later.

    Step 2: Take your laptop(s) to the nearest shooting range and make sure that you invite any of your friends with you to do the same. It will be much more fun this way and even better if you take a video of it and post it on You tube for all to enjoy. (Note: If you do take the video, make sure you post the link in this thread so that we can enjoy it too!)

    Step 3: Make sure you open your laptop with MS Office 2013 open in all its glory, with the brightness set at the highest level.

    Step 4: Place the laptop in the 100 yard range marker.

    Step 5: Shoot at will and enjoy the fire works!!

    Step 6; This is where we restore the colors of MS Office to their long lost glory days.... Go to the nearest Apple store and purchase the Machine of your choice and budget. Make sure that you purchase a copy of MS Office 2011 with it and have the Apple set it up for you for free.

    Step 7: Restore all your files previously backed up on step 1 to your new computer.

    Step 8: Open MS Office Windows 2011 and voila! You have now restored the colors on your MS Office software

    I did this and in addition I boosted the laptop with 500GB SSD and 16GB Ram in conjunction with VM Ware Fusion 7 and now I can open Windows virtual machines from Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Win 7, Win 8 and Linux & Ubuntu Operating Systems and share my files with all of them.

    For the past 3 months I have not had to open the disastrous copy of Office 2013 which resides in my Windows 8 VM because MS Office 2011 on the Mac works flawlesly!
