Excel 2010 Default Gridline Color
Some people just prefer to change the colors of the programs that they are using, because it it a way to make that installation of the program their own. If you do enough customizing of the program’s appearance, then there are going to be fewer and fewer instances of Excel that look the same as yours. By changing the default gridline color in Excel 2010, you are taking a big step in altering the way that Excel looks on your screen. Step 1: Launch Microsoft Excel 2010. Step 2: Click the File tab at the top-left corner of the Excel 2010 window. Step 3: Open the Excel Options window by clicking Options at the bottom of the column on the left side of the window.
Step 4: Click Advanced in the left-hand column of this window, then scroll to the Display options for this worksheet section.
Step 5: Click the drop-down menu to the right of Gridline color, then choose your preferred new color. Also, note that you are only changing the gridlines for the currently active sheet. If you want to change the color for a different sheet, you will need to open that sheet to make it active, then follow these steps to change the gridlines for that worksheet as well.
Step 6: Click the OK button at the bottom of the window to apply the new color to your sheet.
