    Is there any way to port the Office 16 Black Theme to the 2013 version by copying the appropriate theme files? Or is the theme hard-coded? The main reason I've stayed with Office 2010 is the horrible choice of Office 2013 themes, which give me headaches (I'm not too crazy about the capital letters in the menu bar, either).

    KMSauto Net 1.3.4.4 works perfectly with the latest 16.0.3327.1020 build installed through the online installer.
    It will first ask you to convert your additions to vl (proplus, visio and project for me) than it will ask for a mak key which can easily be found on the web.
    Just click activate and follow the prompts.
    There will a message asking to repair when you lanunch office but after you click okay everything works and there are no banners.

    Absolutely true. In my case, it replaced Office 2013 (x64) via upgrade.

    In my case, I now have Doodle Diamonds (my old theme from Office 2013), but with the black background (unique to Office 16).

    That background is a clear indication that Office 2013 it isn't.

    I've been on tech break for the past week :p

    I see there hasn't been a new build since November though.

    I'm off break now...

    So the first item on the list was kicking the Office repo up a bit with some of my notes that I took for taking apart office 2010.

    Also am continuing work on a Universal OEM Pack that is using Powershell instead of CMD.

    I got the installer linked above and it is 1020. Problem I have is its ProPlus and I only have license for 365 Uni. Seen other installs in this thread with that version, how to select before or after install?

    Of course, most of us hope so.
    Microsoft have remained tight-lipped on Office 16 so far... :ninja_hide:

    They could well announce something special, like a Preview, since they're supposed to talk about most 'big' products. But the focus will be on Windows and Windows Mobile... so (my guess) they might talk a wee bit about Office 16 but it's highly unlikely they release a first official Preview build of it.

    Two (long) days to go to get a clearer view of what's on their mind... :tea: That's what we all know for sure. ;)
