Enhancing Theme Customization in Microsoft Teams with More Options from Microsoft Outlook

Hello everyone,

I’ve noticed that Outlook and Office 365 offer a wide variety of themes, ranging from classic styles to more vibrant options (such as Rainbow, Unicorn Acres, Circuit, Blueprint, and Ribbon Release). Personally, I’m using the “Whale of a Time” classic theme and really appreciate the level of personalization available.

In comparison, Microsoft Teams currently provides only a limited set of appearance options (Light, Dark, High Contrast, and Classic). While these are functional, they don’t offer much flexibility for users who prefer a more customized workspace.

Would it be possible to expand the theme options in Teams by incorporating some of the diverse selections available in Outlook? Adding more themes would greatly enhance personalization and improve the overall user experience.

Thank you for considering this suggestion, and I’d love to hear others’ thoughts!

    Hi @Joan Llamas,

    Thank you for sharing your insights. Based on your description, it seems you’re looking to enhance the customization options in Microsoft Teams, allowing users greater flexibility in how the interface appears to support different working styles.

    I completely understand how this could significantly improve the overall user experience in Teams. To help drive this improvement, I strongly encourage you to submit your feedback directly through the Microsoft Feedback Portal. The Microsoft development teams actively review customer feedback, and many enhancements have been implemented based on community input.  enter image description here If you decide to submit feedback, please feel free to share the link with me. I would be more than happy to support it, and doing so may also help increase visibility so that other users experiencing the same situation can find and endorse it. The more engagement a request receives, the higher the likelihood that it will be carefully reviewed. 

    Thank you again for clearly documenting your concerns. I sincerely hope this feedback will be reviewed and upgraded by Microsoft in the near future.
