Overview

Theme is a dashboard styling feature in WPS Spreadsheet on macOS. It helps you quickly adjust dashboard colors, background images, and the overall visual style so that components in the same dashboard stay consistent.

Core capabilities include:

  • Switch dashboard themes to apply a preset visual style.
  • Change theme colors for the current dashboard.
  • Change theme images with built-in background options.
