Change Advanced Editor Background Color

Has anyone found a way to change the background color of the Advanced Editor?

I'm on the Current Channel of Office and run the Dark Gray Office Theme. It works well enough in Excel. All the navigation bits are gray while the worksheets, where the work gets done, are white. The background of the VBE editor is white.

But the background of the Power Query Advanced Editor is mud gray. It should, IMHO, be white like the other workspaces - the worksheet and the VBE editor.
Is there any way to configure it to be white within the Dark Gray Office Theme?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Unfortunately, after testing I couldn't find a place to set this, so please use the File > Feedback > Send a Frown option to tell Microsoft what you want.

Thanks for the followup Gao. 

Our organization has the in-app Feedback options disabled. 

What's the next best way for me to send feedback?
EDIT: Found the Excel feedback forum here: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/c23f3b77-f01b-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472
