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.

At least everyone else here seems to have a choice of the three "non-choices." When I change my programs (all of them in Office) to dark grey, as soon as I reboot, they all go back to default white. It's truly mind boggling the complete and total lack of customer care and service this company exhibits.

Don't you know that the rules only apply to use the customers they don't apply to MS employees or there contracted out support service staff now that would be asking far to much and so is asking for either a civil and helpful or useful reply

It's also asking far to much for MS to take some notice of the continued numerous complaints about this balls ups in Office 2013 and get off there FAT LAZY ASSES and do something to fix it, but you do know the customer is always wrong where big bully boy companies are concerned
