Hi dhjohns,

Somewhat confused. Why are you giving me this link when this may be fixed by editing the theme to stop it from affecting Excel?

Hi dhjohns.. But I'm not using a dark office theme at all. I just turn some spreadsheets to a dark color. Some are a white color. I need to have full control over Excel without it being afffected by any theme. Do you still have suggestions?

To stop a theme from changing the colors in office then you will have to change the properties in Fonts, Colors, & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics, the 2 properties are Window and WindowText, these will have to be set to the default white for Window and black for WindowText

Hi grim,

Is there any way other than the method you suggested to prevent themes from affecting specific programs? Using your method does bring back custom colors of the excel spreadsheets. But is also changes the background colors in other programs. Is there a code or something else that can isolate only specific programs from being affected by the theme?

nope .. this is hardcoded into windows ... there are no workarounds whatsoever

the version you are using , i think, is the default install.. search the forums under the WSB section & you'll find that you need to mod the WSB installl a bit with Grim's class maps import scripts & stylescripts to be able to make a theme or edit any existing ones for windows 10 ... the default WSB install does not support WIndows 10 properly.

Hi Grim,

Devilinside suggested that I need to mod my WSB, (version 1.5.6.3 Beta build). He said to use your class maps import scripts & stylescripts to be able make WSB work properly in windows 10. Would you please post these links?
