Actually make the dark mode for Excel change the working document's background colour black/dark without needing to format.

I created a "DarkMode" style. Obviously, you can't print it out but at least you can look at it.

And the white in the centre part makes it look even brighter.

@Siddharth Reuben - dark mode in Excel doesn't default the background table dark, so your main working area is still bright white.

Currently Excel in Mac turns only the tool ribbons dark when dark mode is on. This could be made better by making the sheets too in dark.

Ideally it should be like Outlook with that light/dark button for the email content.

Agreed, it should be like Outlook with that button!

I think the best way is the same button as in Outlook, right? So easy to use and already implemented in Outlook with great user response...
Actually i want this button :-). -

Reposting this comment from another similar suggestions: I like this idea in principle, but please don't make it so that dark mode REQUIRES a black workbook. I like my workbook to stay white, but love dark mode. Please don't make me switch back to grey or colorful just to keep my working space white.

Interestingly, this idea was originally suggested over 2.5 years ago and still hasn't been implemented. Excel developers, please consider implementing this feature to save user's eyes! The suggested workarounds mentioned in the original idea are not enough.

I'd say make it the same as how you currently do it for Outlook messages.

Please add in a color inversion to make things dark, the searing white background! I cant't take it any more, its not pink eye! It the monitors and q-led's and all this new display tech that is making screens with more energy output than the Death Star! Less white!!!!!!!!

At least Win10 has fullscreen filter mode. It defaults to "somewhat yellow", but can be made quite orange. Night Mode.

Example below of what cells should look like in dark mode.

Please update dark mode in Excel to also include the cells changing colour according to the theme.
Dark mode in excel with the cells on the spreadsheet remaining white is pointless being that dark mode is there to reduce eye strain.

David Desousa commented
This is a much needed feature!
Dark mode in Excel is pointless unless the cells are also changed to dark to reduce eye strain.

Add a dark Office Theme with colored Highlights/Accents like your Colorfoul Theme but instead of light colors use dark ones

Outlook has that button to instantly switch backgrounds to match dark mode and it is extremely helpful when working at night. The bright white excel workbook makes it painful to use at night.
