    Can Office 365 Themes be edited or created?


    Yes, i know this isn't the most critical aspect of Office use, but i am real tired of the limitations of the whopping four themes provided and though i have tried, i apparently have not hit upon the right combination of words to find a solution in my searches.

    Does anyone know of a guide on how to change theme colors, or perhaps, add a new theme? Maybe a repository of themes for free or for fee?

    Thank-you!

    A simple search would point you to this. https://support.office.com/en-ie/art...4-42bd2afef904

    Ahhhhhh, i see we have a miscommunication, and that would be my responsibility.

    I am referring to the Office themes as in one finds via File|Options|General - Office Theme:

    Nope. You are locked in on the themes that Microsoft coded into the software.

    Why would they do a fool thing like that, and why hasn't anyone hacked it... :)

    As you previously pointed out, they recognized the desire to have a myriad of schemes in documents, extended out to "make it up yourself". I would think that someone might figure out that the consumer (me) might not be so thrilled with the four options provided, especially when the differences between "Dark Gray" and "Black" are not earth-shaking, and, at least on my computer, "Colorful" and "white" are not all that different either.

    I guess if it is hard-coded, a hack is so much more problematic. For a company whose code references so many dll files, zipped files dressed up as their own format, registry entries and other forms of configuration files, i am really confused over this little apparently unimportant issue-

    Thank-you bro67. Do you think there is any chance that by leaving this open someone from MS might see it, or am i kicking a dead horse?
