Changing 2007 color scheme to use Windows colors?

[rgurganus]

I just had Office 2007 installed, and I would like to change the color
scheme back to something that operates based on those chosen under the
display control panel. This is mainly so that
(1) the active window display will be different from inactive window
displays in the background. If I have OL, email messages, and Word
open on top of each other, it all blends together because it's all the
same blue.
(2) it's helpful to be consistent with the display of other non-MS
apps, rather than MS being out there in a world by themselves.

You have all the choice Microsoft means for you to have. Putting it
differently, you can't do this. The only color schemes for Office 2007 are
those Microsoft has provided. Office 2007 doesn't adopt Windows color
schemes any more. Whether it will again in some future version is unknown.

Just installed Office 2007. I agree with item 1. I would like to see the
title bar for active window a different color or maybe more intense and the
inactive window's title bar color more subdued. It is annoying that the
application windows appear almost identical and the applications blend
together on the screen.
