Mysite and OneDrive shows the default theme, we need to change the color and the background

It looks ease of cake, I went to site setting, the change the look is not available, I clicked on the right gear icon it is not listed too!!

I checked this post How to "Change the Look" in My Site?

It helped me to change the look for mysite but for OneDrive it still shows the old theme?

What I am missing? Do I need to enable a feature ? Or there a configuration issue?

It is not supported to alter the look nor feel of modern OneDrive sites, which is what you should be using in 2016+.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/customize-onedrive-for-business-sites

This applies to only the classic OneDrive for Business experience in SharePoint Online. If you are using the new default experience, this is not supported.

  • Why would you do that? The modern version is the only version going forward in 2019 or SharePoint Online. Once you upgrade, which eventually you will, you won't be able to implement any custom look nor feel.

is there a modern experience in SharePoint 2016?

Yes, starting with the "November 2016 public update for SharePoint Server 2016 (Feature Pack 1)".

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/spses/2017/02/15/sharepoint-2016-modern-onedrive-user-experience-results-in-blank-page/

There is a sample PowerShell script in that article to switch between the default displays.
