• Dark gray theme. The most application colors are gray and accent color is being used very rarely.
• White theme. This theme is very similar to Office 2013 white theme.
• Black theme. The most application colors are dark gray. This theme is very similar to VS 2019 Dark Theme.

1. Flat, Windows 8-11-style UI.
2. Full-screen backstage view with a "back" circular button.
