Hi there
after latest update to Office 2016 (x-64) the Black theme has been it seems withdrawn.

Current Version 16.0.67412017

Hi Jimbo,

I have just registered to write this comment.

I had same problem too. Mine working fine after update. however when i accidentally changed theme to white, i couldn't revert it back to black theme. Black theme option were just gone like u mentioned.

Solution i found is: i checked system restore point and saw that system restore point (critical update) were created only for office update. So after i have done system restore and reverted it back to previous office version, my black theme came back!

After u have restored office black theme, before another update comes, make sure log in to office and choose black theme. Then u might able to preserve black theme even after update.

Personally i haven't updated office yet. i have just system restore about 5 minutes ago

Hope this helps.

a bit in Google?

I have build 16.0.7167.2040 and do not have Black as an option. I only have Colorful, Dark Gray and White. If I change:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common
UI Theme value to 4

It makes office black until I close and reopen it, at which time it reverts to Colorful. So...

1) Does anyone have this build and the Black option normally?
2) If it has been removed in this build, is it possible to make this reg key stick?

I uninstalled and reinstalled mine. Still no Black. Any thoughts on how to resolve?
