WPS Office - Change Spreadsheets Default Fill Background Color
up vote

I installed WPS Office for the first time. It is amazing, so much so that I wonder if there is some hidden adware that I can't remove (e.g., what is Docer).
That said, my issue is that the background on WPS Spreadsheets for all sheets is this weird brown color. I've tried changing the Page Layout > Themes and Colors. I've also tried to Format Cells. But there does not appear (or I can't find) a way to change the default background color. Is there a way?
Here is what it looks like.

As an addendum to Roel Brook's answer, I found that you can actually change this setting in the binary file. To do this open terminal and enter
sudo $EDITOR /bin/et
Then look for:
${gInstallPath}/office6/${gApp} -style gtk+ ${gOptExt} ${gOpt} "$@"
and change it to:
${gInstallPath}/office6/${gApp} -style motif ${gOptExt} ${gOpt} "$@"
Then save and close. Now the changes will be persistent.

Thanks @Dan Temkin. I attempted to edit the binary file, but I had noetfile in/bin. Instead, it was at/usr/bin/et. Also, and more importantly, it doesn't have the line you mention. There is no-style gtk+anywhere in the file. The closest line I have is:else ${gInstallPath}/office6/${gApp} ${gOptExt} ${gOpt} "$@". Am I in the wrong directory?

I missed the 5 minute edit time restriction. Here is what I meant to add: Despite the different directory, I added-style motifin the same place you had it. And it worked!!! I'm going to go through a few restarts to see if it sticks. If so, I'll mark it solved and thank you very much.

As with most QT applications, WPS accepts "-style".
For example:
et -style motif
This will ignore the current desktop theme, and run WPS with that specific QT theme.

Thanks @Roel Brook, but that solution actually doesn't work other than when launching through the terminal. If you put theet -style motifin the.desktopfile in/usr/share/applications, it only works when you launch from that directory. Else (e.g., if you open a .xlsx file in another location or a blank document), it keeps the brown background.

works for me if I edit the launcher properties in Linux Mint Cinnamon 18 as follows: command: /usr/bin/et -style motif

Turns out this is caused by an interaction with the Arc Dark theme (it does not occur with Arc or Arc Darker). I posted an issue on Horst's GitHub page.

I had the same problem, but the solution above given by Dan (which seems to be the right one as it is referenced in every forum I came across) wasn't working for me. But I found another fix which DOES work, although not permanently.
I am using a KDE neon build, and the solution below worked for me:
WPS_NO_KDE_NATIVE_DIALOG=1 et -style gtk+
This is for spreadsheets. For writer and presentation, substitute "et" with "wps" and "wpp" respectively.
Solution attributed to user "raddison" on KDE Forum, under the "WPS Office not working" topic.
