Change Microsoft Outlook Theme Mac

Very annoying that Cultured Code’s Things 3 does not integrate with Microsoft Outlook. But I’m about to help you change that, and the best part is that it’s pretty easy (only three steps). In Microsoft Outlook 2016, go to File – Options. On the General page, change the Office Theme to Dark Gray. The change is immediate once you hit the OK button. Here’s a preview of what it will look like It may take a bit to become accustomed to, but the Dark Gray theme can be easier on the eyes and actually cause less eyestrain.

Are you one of the persons that enjoy some changes occasionally in the environment that you work in? Are you one of the persons that need to concentrate and stay more focus on your computer screen? This is where DarkMode appears in MicrosoftOutlook. DarkMode makes it easier for our eyes in an environment with low light. To find out how to set Outlook into DarkMode, just keep on reading the post below.

We must select the File tab to move into BackstageView and once there, from the left of the drop-down menu that appears we select the OfficeAccountcategory as shown in the image below.

Once the OfficeAccount category is selected, we notice in the middle of the task pane and under the Account area among the other commands available, we have the OfficeTheme area located there. If we select the drop-down menu under the OfficeTheme area, there are located the following Modes available: Colorful, DarkGray, Black and White. For this post I will select the command DarkMode.

Once DarkMode is selected, Outlook has changed into a Black Color Theme which includes DarkMode. DarkMode provides a BlackBackground instead of white for the MessageWindow. Once we apply DarkMode in MicrosoftOutlook, the same applies to all the other Microsoft Office Programs such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and etc.

In BlackTheme we can read our Messages with a DarkBackground as shown in the image below. In the following image, we can see how cool DarkMode looks like.

In the next image I have opened an E-Mail Message. If the DarkBackground is confusing for us to read the Message, we always have the option to turn the Body of the Message into a WhiteBackground. All we need to do, is to locate at the top right corner of the Message the SwitchBackground command as shown below and activate it. Immediately, the Body of the Message turns into white, while all the rest remain Black.

Once we select the SwitchBackground command, the icon changes into a Moon. If we select it again it will change into a Sun icon.

In the next image, we can see how DarkMode looks like in MicrosoftWord.

In the next image, we can see how DarkMode looks like in MicrosoftExcel.

In the next image, we can see how DarkMode looks like in MicrosoftPowerPoint.

As mentioned in the beginning, no matter which application we are working with, once we select Dark ModeTheme or any other Theme it will be applied in all MicrosoftApplications.
