Access theme

[Wysy]

Hi,
Until just recently, my access has had the "classical" white, red theme. Navigation pane and workplace white. However after a recent restart all of a sudden white background has changed to gray. Why? I played around the with Option/General/Office Backround and Office Theme but i can not get back the "white". Is there a work around?
thanks

I haven't gotten the update yet plus I am using the ugly black theme because the contrast between the fashionably light gray text and the white background is insufficient for these old eyes. Anyway, I think the change to light gray for some background objects is permanent and theme won't change it. There are only four options, Colorful, White, Gray, Black. Gray and Black are both ugly but black provides better contrast for the tiny text in the lists that now seem to have gray backgrounds.

"White" is brighter for me than "Colorful" but I'm not seeing gray backgrounds yet.

So it means the software update has made the change?

Yep. Someone else mentioned it in a different thread.

Is Navigation Pane and Property Sheet now grey in latest release?

Logged on this morning and the navigation pane and Property Sheet are grey rather than the customary white background. MSACCESS.EXE appears to have been updated yesterday. I'm now on file version 16.0.15128.20178. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
