| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Google | Notion | Adobe |

| Capability Summary | Lets you apply a workbook theme from the Page tab and adjust theme colors, fonts, and effects for the overall spreadsheet appearance. | Microsoft Excel supports document themes with colors, fonts, and effects, and also lets users save a current theme for reuse. | Google Docs supports page color, orientation, paper size, and margins, and can set page setup as default, but it does not present the same workbook-style theme combination of colors, fonts, and effects. | Notion supports page font, text color, page width, icons, and covers for page styling, but it does not provide workbook-level theme color, font, and effect management. | Adobe Acrobat supports display themes and viewing preferences for the app interface and PDF reading, but it is not a spreadsheet theme system for workbook styling. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS keeps theme application, color changes, font changes, and effect changes in one theme workflow, which is convenient for workbook-wide visual updates. | Compared with WPS: Excel offers similar theme components, but its guidance is centered on Office document themes across apps rather than this specific WPS spreadsheet workflow. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs focuses more on page setup and document background settings than on workbook-wide theme styling. | Compared with WPS: Notion is more suitable for page layout and content presentation than for centralized spreadsheet theme management. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is more suitable for PDF viewing and interface appearance settings than for spreadsheet theme design. |
