Microsoft has developed the Office suite in order to provide each particular user with a range of useful options based on each role played within it. Thus we have multiple options for Word , Excel , PowerPoint or Access, and each feature has its own customization alternatives..
Now, the current operating systems have a new functionality called Dark Mode which applies to both the general system environment, as well as to the applications installed in it , and is ideal to give a total turn to the way we navigate and use everything the system. Apple with the launch of macOS Mojave has integrated the option to activate this mode by default and therefore this will affect the use of the Office suite in macOS.
We clarify that by default Office applications have some pre-configured themes, so Microsoft Word on Mac will have a dark blue visual theme on Mac, for Microsoft Excel it will be green and for PowerPoint it is red or orange. For this reason, it will be possible that as macOS users we want to edit the Office preferences so that they match visually with the light theme or with the macOS dark mode mode depending on whether we have it configured and this will allow better performance to the Make use of these applications..
TechnoWikis will explain through this tutorial how we can modify the theme in Office for macOS Mojave.
Something to keep in mind is that this change will directly affect the entire independent Office suite from where the action is performed, for example, if we perform this process from Excel all changes will be applied to PowerPoint, Word, Outlook and other applications in the suite ..
