Excel added a 2nd quick access toolbar and changed top portion of worksheet to gray
- Nov 22, 2021
Hi,
This helped me with the same issue in my Excel 2016:
1. Type and launch Regedit in the windows search window.
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\ExperimentConfigs\ExternalFeatureOverrides\excel
3. In the parameter "Microsoft.Office.UXPlatform.FluentSVRefresh" change the value "true" to "false".
Good luck!
In Excel 2016, do the following:
Open / click "File"
Click on "Options"
New window will appear
Click on the link above on "General"
Right go to heading (Bold) with "Personalize Microsoft Office Copy".
Office design: change from white to bundle with the drop down menu (click on the small file below)
Press "OK" ... should be green again :).
Hope I could help you with these information / links.

Thank you NikolinDE,
Unfortunately I do not have an Office Design drop down. I did change "Office Theme" to "Colorful", which put some green back at the top of the worksheet.
However, I still have two different quick access toolbars, and the "not normal" looking tabs.
Can you suggest additional fixes?
Thank you,
Roy

I guess under Office Design NikolinoDE meant both Office Background and Office Theme tabs. Office Design doesn't exists. However, above settings are applied to all Office app, not separately to specific app like Excel or Word.
Did you try in safe mode (Win+R -> excel /safe), do you have different colors for Excel and Word in it as well?
