I am running Office 2003 on a Windows Vista Premium. For some reason the default blue color of the Office 2003 is gone. All changed now to grey color, Outlook, Word......I didn't change any settings still using Vista themes, I noticed this happened after some updates for Office 2003. I also noticed I am no longer had my default Outlook, and I had to create new personal folder .pst after this change took place. My Office 2003 is running fine but the color changed to grey, is there is any way I can change it back to the default blue look. Thanks for taking time to reply back.

I am not sure about Office 2003 because I use 2007. But there you go to e.g. Word Options > Popular where you find the setting for the color scheme.

And it does not help if you press "advanced" and try to change the colors of the active title bar?

Found a couple of suggestions on the net, you may have tried them too. First
Office 2003 blue theme in Vista - Notebook Forums and Laptop Discussion
then a suggestion to rather than running in compatibility mode, as suggested in the thread, select "Disable visual themes" from Properties > Compatibility. Hope it works.

Sorry it took me a while to post reply with the result. It is all good now and got my blue colors back. Thanks a million for taking time to lookup my issue. I went through the steps and the link you provided and it seems the first time it didn't do any changes, and after all it is all working fine.

Excellent. Happy it works.
