Stupidity signed Microsoft or... !

[win7en]

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to change the color scheme (interface color) of outlook 2010 but I notice that the colors list is very limited (3 colors only) and the most striking is that the new color I chose will be also applied on all other office programs (word, powerpoint, excel...)! What a ridiculous idea behind this?
I'm can't believe that MS's developers could be "so stupid" to not let the user chose another color imposed by MS and not be able to apply it only on the program we want!
I wish to have different interface colors for my different office programs (each program with its own specific color), why I can't to customize it?
Is there any way to do so or is this part of the chronic symptoms of MS's skills?

Thank you

Actually, I'm asking about appearance in office 2010 themes and not in windows 7!
Maybe this is not the right place for my question, I'm sorry.

Your 3 colors in outlook are the same as mine.
To me I am not there to customize it as the info in there is more important.
I am in and out of there quickly.
Sorry for my not reading your ? more thoroughly.

MS Office Word : Set Document Color

Sorry again, I don't ask "how to change color in word", I know how to do it, but I'm asking WHY when I change color in Word, this will make the same change in Excel, powerpoint and other office programs too"!
When you switch color in word interface to black for example, this will make the interface black too in PowerPoint, excel and publisher...!
Personnaly, I'd prefer to have, for exmple, black color in word, blue color in powerpoint, silver in excel and....so on, different color with each program, but not the same color for all programs!

Making the same interface's color for all office program is stupid idea in my view. So, I'm asking why user shouldn't be able to customize colors in office programs individually?
Do you got this now?
Suppose you have 4 documents opened and you are working on at the same time, you navigate between them: Word, Powerpoint, Excel and publisher. In this case, the 4 documents will have the same interface color (ex. black) !
This will not let you to visually and quickly distinguish them! Instead, if each program has a different interface color, you will recognize its documents easier, just by throwing an eye on it!

Hoping you got what I mean!

It's not the time we lost with you as we are here to help.
That's what this forum is all about.
What you are asking for may or may not be possible.
Have you done a help search in MS Office 2010?

You are changing the User Interface for office 2010 NOT just for Word therefore you will find that the changes will affect ALL applications that use the interface.

Alright, this is what I'm wondering about! Why changes in Word will affect Excel for example or outlook or other programs?
In the previous versions of office (<2003) this stupid feature was not there! each interface was different from each other, for word, excel, outlook or powerpoint....
It was nicer in my mind!
But now, any change in the interface of Outlook or Word for example (pay Attention I say Word not office!).....this will affect all interfaces in the other programs!
So, I ask why this stupid feature in office 2010?
Office is not only Word, and Word is not all office!
User should be able at least to INDIVIDUALLY customize different interface for the different programs in office suite!
Why user has to use the same interface for all office programs?
If someone doesn't like this stupid feature, what he could to do after paying to MS?
Why MS imposes us ONE and ONLY ONE interface for all programs?
Garbage !

Thank you, wise man !

You need to be reasonable about this, if Microsoft built all the changes and customization that the millions of users around the world want the program would need a 1 tb hard drive to install it on.
Microsoft have allowed quite a bit of customization in Office 2010 and have not gone overboard with it.

The most obvious option but it was so late, man! I payed before knowing about this garbage!
Anyway, I'm waiting Google OS and may will not use MS's garb... at all!
