Change Background color Theme Office 2013

Anonymous

Has anyone come up with how to Change the Color on the Office 2013 Them from "gray". Microsoft has really not been user friendly with Windows 8 or Office 2013 in enabling the user to change their environment.

I think Microsoft does not read these forum questions. Otherwise, some of the technical people would be contacting their customers to gain feedback.

I am extremely disappointed in the Office 13 and Win8 programs.

Anyone got any ideas?

Hi,

Thanks for posting in Microsoft Community. It is unfortunate that you are unable to locate the option in Office 2013 to change the theme of applications. Let me help you with the issue.

For the Office 2013 (RTM) version you may follow the below steps:

Go to the File tab
Click on Options
Choose the General tab on the left
Find the ‘O ffice Theme’ dropdown item
Choose between White, Light Gray, and Dark Gray.

If you have Office 2013 preview version installed, then you have an option to change the background color by clicking on File, Options, General and under the group 'Personalize your copy of Microsoft Office', you may choose the background you wish to change to and click ok.

If you are using preview version of Office then you have a Smiley on the top right hand side of the application, you may click on it and send in your feedback.

I hope the above steps help. If you need any further assistance reply and we will be glad to assist you.

Thank you.

Hi Manh,

You are right are pretty much right about every thing your comment.

About six months ago, which was roughly a little more then year since I left my former employmer and my copy that I had gotton from them stop working. I tried working with Google Doc's. It is ohso ever close to be a quality replacement to Microsoft, but most of my clients need Excel and Access file. Another year or two, the direction Microsoft has been moving and their lousy customer service, Google Doc's might over take them and best of all, it's free.

Anyway, my wife and I broke down and bought Office 365 and before the updates, there was little difference, but after the updates, Mircosoft cheered and padded themselves on their back and they exclaimed how they listened to its consumers. They added Black as an option. Black is much easier to work in, but still, I would have prefer to have been able
