I am unable to set darkmode in Office 2010 pro plus as downloaded from the VLC. The reading pane for onenote, outlook, word, etc, remain white despite the border changing to black. I am on c2r, version 1808 10382.20010. I have checked for updates within the program and it says that I am up to date.

    Hi @daniel goldman

    Dark Mode is available for Office 365 subscribers and non-volume licensing Office 2019 customers currently, it means these users can try this feature on Word, OneNote 2016, Outlook. (Please note, this feature is not available for all Office apps, such as Excel, PowerPoint.)

    According to your description, Version1808 (Build10382.20010) is one of volume licensed versions. For more, please refer to 'Volume licensed versions of Office 2019'. So, this version does not include Dark Mode feature.

    The following Office Home&Student 2019 (One of retail Office 2019 versions) includes this feature. After setting "Black" as a theme, it would show "Switch Mode" button under "View" tab to let us turn on or turn off this feature.
