Core tasks include:
- Turn Eye Care Mode on or off from the View tab.

| Capability Summary | In WPS Spreadsheet on macOS, Eye Care Mode switches the document background to a soft green display and can be toggled from the View tab or the status bar. | Microsoft Word provides page color controls and Dark Mode, including a dark document background and a View tab switch for page background display. | Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides support Dark theme on mobile devices, and users can preview a document or sheet in light theme. | Notion supports light and dark appearance switching, including a keyboard shortcut to toggle between dark mode and light mode. | Acrobat on mobile provides reading views such as Dark Mode, Low Light, Full Screen, and Liquid Mode for more comfortable PDF reading. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides a dedicated eye care toggle inside the spreadsheet interface. Distinct: it offers two quick access points for switching the display while reviewing worksheets. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses on page color and dark page display in Word, while the official page does not describe a spreadsheet-specific soft green eye care background. | Compared with WPS: Google documents its theme switching mainly for mobile apps, and collaborators cannot see the theme you choose. | Compared with WPS: Notion theme switching applies to the overall app appearance rather than a worksheet-specific eye care background mode. | Compared with WPS: Adobe documents reading comfort features mainly for PDF viewing on mobile rather than spreadsheet editing. |
| Official Source | — | Dark Mode in Word | Use Dark theme in Google Docs, Sheets & Slides | Keyboard shortcuts | Acrobat on mobile overview |
Overall Conclusion: WPS Eye Care Mode is more directly aligned with spreadsheet viewing on macOS because it offers a dedicated toggle inside the worksheet interface. If your main goal is to reduce visual strain while reviewing spreadsheets and switch the display quickly, WPS provides a more focused workflow for this scenario.
