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.

YAWN YAWN YAWN the seam old rubbish

There not options there a INSULT and a JOKE

Wow. Terrible grammar AND spelling.

Some people should refrain from posting.

Last I checked, this was a technical forum not an entertainment community, so you're lack of excitement is not surprising to anyone but you.

So other than proving you're an idiot....what was the point of your post? FYI, that's a rhetorical question, I don't care what idiots like you think.

You're Living proof that giving people smart phones doesn't help the operator get smarter.

In terms you'll understand, "sit down and shut up." Note the use of conjunctions.

No progress in over a year. I stopped using 2013 over a year ago. Such a shame customer input is ignored. I used to be in customer service and marketing. Customer feedback is crucial. If something doesn't work, fix it instead of repeating a useless company line!

If Microsoft reads this (there is some doubt) then there should be a very urgent patch being prepared for immediate release in the next update. I doubt, however, that is the case. This is a truly appalling "feature" which falls far short of user expectation. How did this happen? Where are product management and quality control in this? Nowhere!

when I look at my screen now I am taken back to WordPerfect circa 1993.

I'm going back to Office 2007.

All we want is some sort of indication that MS is looking into this right?

Can't we draw their attention somehow? I've used twitter with relevant hashtags already but that also didn't help either.

Isnt their anybody in the Seattle area who can print this out and hand deliver it to them every month?

Other creative ideas?
