Any Way to change the Blue Color Scheme in Publisher 2007

[news.microsoft.com]

The other Office programs have a way to change the color scheme, however,
Publisher does not seem to have any color option but blue. Any way to change
the color scheme in Publisher 2007.
Thanks...!!!

I wish I could tell you yes but I can't.

Thanks JoAnn, I have been told that there is a command line option to change
it from blue to gray or black but I haven't found the trick yet.

Thanks for the reply Don. Actually I am referring to the blue tool bar,
menus, etc. The project color scheme can be changed as you suggest. There
seems to be no option to change the window color scheme.

way to change the color scheme in Publisher 2007.

For some reason, the Office team decided that Windows Vista users should
have the non-Ribbon Office programs locked down to the blue colour
scheme. Windows XP users have an adaptive scheme like Office 2003 did.

If you start Publisher in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2, then it
will no longer be blue. (It will, OTOH, be quite ugly.)

Ah yes, thanks Ed, that blue hurts my eyes.

I haven't heard that but then again the blue scheme is fine with me. As long
as it's not fluorescent orange or neon green, I'm not going to squawk about
that.

Publisher didn't seem to be changed as much as the other Office programs
(in 07)
I put it in google and found this (haven't tried it)

"When you change the color scheme in one of these 2007 Office release
programs, it changes for all of these programs".

Some choice (LOL)

Heh. Once you've done that, you may be able to alter your Windows
colours in order to alter Publisher's appearance. *shrugs*

It does change most of the others but not Publisher...Publisher is just
thrown in but not integrated.

The black is fine Ed. That blue was burning my eyeballs!

AFAIK it only changes the Ribbon applications, not those with the older
UI. Publisher isn't alone there.

Okay, now we know.
The color can also be changed a little by adjusting the monitor-
right?
Don't most of them have brightness and even tint (to a certain
degree)?
