Some of the best apps do this exceptionally well but what many will often neglect is make sure an interface doesn\u2019t strain a user\u2019s eyes. Very few apps are built with both light and dark themes making them easy to use in a well lit room but are\u00a0practically a strain to use at night. Microsoft\u2019s Office suite of apps was no different up until the 2016 version which comes with a built-in dark grey theme that you can apply to all apps in one stroke. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n<p>Open any Office app of your choice and go to File&gt;Options. In the General tab, scroll down to the \u2018Personalize your copy of Microsoft Office\u2019. There\u2019s a new \u2018Office Theme\u2019 dropdown that features three options; Colorful, Dark Grey, and White. Pick Dark Grey and the theme will be applied across all apps.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"post-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-180622\" src=\"https:\/\/files2.tojikon.net\/files-cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/how-to-get-a-dark-grey-theme-in-ms-office-2016.jpg\" alt=\"office 2016 theme\" width=\"660\" height=\"437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/files2.tojikon.net\/files-cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/how-to-get-a-dark-grey-theme-in-ms-office-2016.jpg 660w, https:\/\/files2.tojikon.net\/files-cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/how-to-get-a-dark-grey-theme-in-ms-office-2016-2.jpg 300w, https:\/\/files2.tojikon.net\/files-cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/how-to-get-a-dark-grey-theme-in-ms-office-2016-3.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\"\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what Word 2016 looks like with the Dark Grey theme and I may never go back to the default \u2018Colorful\u2019 theme.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"post-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-180623\" src=\"https:\/\/files2.tojikon.net\/files-cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/how-to-get-a-dark-grey-theme-in-ms-office-2016-1.jpg\" alt=\"office 2016 dark theme\" width=\"658\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/files2.tojikon.net\/files-cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/how-to-get-a-dark-grey-theme-in-ms-office-2016-1.jpg 658w, https:\/\/files2.tojikon.net\/files-cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/how-to-get-a-dark-grey-theme-in-ms-office-2016-4.jpg 300w, https:\/\/files2.tojikon.net\/files-cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/how-to-get-a-dark-grey-theme-in-ms-office-2016-5.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 658px) 100vw, 658px\"\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Choosing the \u2018White\u2019 theme will turn everything White. The title bar, which is normally blue in the Colorful theme for Word and a dark grey for all apps in the Dark Grey theme, will turn white.
