Tinting Excel Background to Show White Text In Windows Settings

[dave1982]

When working in excel at a prior company we should change the settings in windows so the background in excel workbooks would have a slight blue tint so we could see white text in our workbooks; however, I can't find a way to do this in Windows 365. Does anyone know how to do thin in Windows 365?

Note: This is not changing the fill color in the workbook or excel sheet, this was done as part of the display settings in older versions of windows.

I know of a way you can do this through vba.

Here is an online VBA script on GitHub that will change the background to a 'dark mode' setting. Inside of that code you can change the hex code to whatever color you want.

This is from the GitHub description

   Call UpdateStyleColors(styleName:="Normal", fillColorHex:="#2E3440", fontColorHex:="#FFFFFF", borderColorHex:="#454545")

On the main menu bar select HOME / FONT. The background color is shown as YELLOW and the font color is displayed as RED. Click on each one and
change to the light blue and white.

You should also be able to adjust the colors by selecting PAGE LAYOUT on the main menu bar. Then THEMES / COLORS. You can then select CREATE NEW THEME, then "Text/Background - Dark 1" and adjust the two colors as needed.
