Microsoft Excel background grid color default reverts

[QUOTE="member 428835, post: 6834834"] Basically, microsoft excel always has white background cells, and I'd like it to be a different color. Here's what I've tried: I configured the below registry value in my Windows 11 user profile to change the default window color from 255 255 255 (i.e. white) to 192 192 192 (i.e. a not so bright on the eyes grey). Excel is much easier on the eyes with this setting (unless a white fill cell shade has been applied). However, after a while, if I close Excel, and re-open Excel, or if my computer sleeps, the colors revert to white despite the number in the registry still reading 192 192 192. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; reg query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors" /v Window ; reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors" /v Window /t REG_SZ /d "192 192 192" /f [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors] "Window"="192 192 192" Do you know how to fix this? Seems pointless to have a setting that changes the window colors only to revert/override by another setting. [/QUOTE]
