office 2007 colour display settings   

I now have Vista and Office 2007

On vista the display was horrible for me to read due to color displays (all 
the black, transparent and gradulated colors, etc), tried putting everything 
to solid color but all the black didn't help, so I had to revert to Windows 
Classic View

But the windows classic view doen't come across to the office programs.  The 
transparency of the colors still very hard for me to read, especially in 
excel sheet tabs, etc.

Is there anyway to make all colors in the office programs completely solid.  
 Similar to office 2003.  

Any help would be great, thanks.

No, as far as I know.

This lack of customization has always kept me away from Office 2007. Many MS 
supporters talked, early on, about how additional themes might be 
forthcoming, but I really don't think MS has any intentions to do anything 
in this area. It's been a long time, relatively speaking, that Office 2007 
has been out, and I'm pretty sure that MS will never be addressing this 
concern of it's user base.

A nice solid grey theme would have won me over, probably.

Thanks, yeah a simple classic theme would be nice for people who have visual 
issues with the new versions, guess they didn't think of that aspect.
At least Vista had classic, which helped a bit.
