Switch Excel Spreadsheet from Light view to Night View?
i have cataracts and struggling to read spreadsheets due to the glare.
Same exact issue. Changing Office Theme settings changes the color on everything except the spreadsheet. I even checked to see if maybe for some reason my spreadsheets were being color filled white by default. I started color filling spreadsheets and changing the color of the borders to basically replicate dark mode. That was fine for my own stuff but then I realized I can't set up work spreadsheets like that or they'll think I've been replaced by Wednesday Addams. Hoping to find a solution to this. I think my work around may be adding a solid color picture to every spreadsheet, but this is a looong way from ideal. First, it's gotta be a gray or brown picture, as the font stays default black. The background does not print, but the background does stay with the file, so again, unless you're Wednesday Addams, you'll have to remove the back ground before sending it to anyone at work. Hopefully someone figures this out.
I feel like this is a problem that needs more attention by Microsoft. I love the seamless switch between light mode and dark more that exists in Word and Outlook. Excel needs this too. This would be particularly useful for those of us who are vision impaired (as I am myself).
- I also agree, As i am working in a shared environment i have issues with both cataract remnanats and glaucoma so having a white background and black coloured writing is difficult for me, and a small minority of my colleagues.
What would be ideal for me and my colleagues is an option to show the spreadsheet's worksheet data inverted as a personalised toggle or option so it doesn't affect my normal sighted colleagues view who prefer the light view but can actually be read and reasonably comfortably in a reversed view for those of us who find it difficult to see a glaring white filled view.
So Microsoft or anyone, any take up on providing this feature to MS Excel as a part of the accessibility?
