    Access 2013 Background color

    Dear experts,



    I have installed Windows 10 & Office 13.
    The Background color of MS Access 13 is white in color which is irritating. Is there a way to change the background color?

    Regards
    Alex

    Do you mean the background color of the application window or forms you build? Because it would be very odd if you mean the application.

    I don't know how you get a white background. Must be new to 2013. In 2010: File > Options > General > Color Scheme > Blue/Silver/Black.

    In 2013, your options are White, Light Gray, Dark Gray. File>Options>General>Office Theme

    I like Blue. Another reason I don't want to 'upgrade'.
