This requires a bit of know-how, and is only available for the 64-bit edition, but you CAN enable the Black Theme.

Basically I only use two files for each Office Program I want black. Note: This does NOT work for Access, so don't even try. I change the target in each office program shortcut (Word, Excel, etc.) to point to a .vbs file. I use this for aesthetic reasons because I do NOT like the flash of a command window every time I open an office program, and the .vbs file makes the command window transparent. Please remember if you use these, and you need two for each program, that you must adjust the paths for your PC.
First the cmd file
and now the .vbs fileCode:regedit.exe /S C:\Customizations\OfficeBlackTheme\blacktheme.reg "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\WINWORD.EXE" regedit.exe /S C:\Customizations\OfficeBlackTheme\blacktheme.regOh, I forgot the registry fileCode:Dim WinScriptHost Set WinScriptHost = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WinScriptHost.Run Chr(34) & "C:\Customizations\OfficeBlackTheme\word.cmd" & Chr(34), 0 Set WinScriptHost = NothingCode:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common] "UI Theme"=dword:00000004 "PendingUITheme"=-
This will only work when opening the program first. I always open the files I have saved(One Drive) so Im still looking for a way to do this.
Office Click to Run Color Changer -- Black, Gray, White, Colorful
This is a portable application which will apply a Black Theme to C2R Office programs. Every Office program (except Access) will open with the Black Theme no matter if you open the application, a saved document, or a shortcut to that document. Options are also included for each of the other color schemes in Office. You must have Office installed before you use it. This works with both 32 & 64 bit versions of Office and Windows.
