|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In WPS Spreadsheet on Windows, you can switch Eye Care Mode directly from the View tab or the status bar. The worksheet background changes to a softer light green tone, and you can click again to turn it off. | Excel for Windows supports Dark Mode through View > Switch Modes and notes that the display does not affect printing or what collaborators see by default. | Google Sheets official help documents dark theme controls on Android and iPhone/iPad, with Dark, Light, and System default options. The official help page does not describe a native Windows desktop worksheet dark mode. | Notion lets users set workspace appearance to Light, Dark, or system-based on desktop and mobile. This is a workspace-wide appearance setting rather than a spreadsheet-specific display mode. | Adobe Acrobat desktop provides display theme settings for reading views, mainly for PDF reading scenarios. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides direct switching inside the Windows spreadsheet interface. Distinct: both the View tab and the status bar offer entry points for quick display changes during spreadsheet work. | Compared with WPS: Excel uses a dark worksheet mode and the official instructions require a supported Office or Windows theme first. | Compared with WPS: Google's official help focuses on mobile theme switching, with less official guidance for a comparable Windows desktop spreadsheet view. | Compared with WPS: Notion changes the appearance of the whole workspace instead of offering a spreadsheet-focused viewing mode. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat display themes are designed for PDF reading rather than spreadsheet editing. |

Overall Conclusion
For Windows spreadsheet viewing and editing, WPS Eye Care Mode offers a direct way to adjust the worksheet display during long sessions. Other products also provide theme or display options, but their platform coverage, component focus, and setup paths differ.
