Change gradient above Word menu?

I would love to remove this gradient from the Blue theme and replace it with a solid color, as in the Black theme. I doubt it's possible, but I guess it never hurts to ask. This is just annoying - having to squint every time I need the menu. I've set a 200% display on the 4K monitor but it doesn't help much.

    What version of Office and in what environment are you running?

    Thank you. I'm using two versions of Word, Word 2010 and current 365. I only use 365 on MacOS and I'm not concerned to change the top bar in that app, only in the 2010 version that I use in Windows 11, as it's the Word version that I use all day, every day. 

     

    I would be happy to upgrade to a later version of Word for Windows if I could change the top bar to be blue without the gradient that obscures the menu items annoyingly. :-)
