Today at work my team rolled our eyes at the latest uttering of "This is a living, breathing document." I then joked that maybe we could give the spreadsheet some warts and some hair. That got me thinking - are there skins/mods for Excel that are cartoony and ridiculous? A cursory web search only turns up things that look "professional".

Have y'all seen that nasty skin banana? Doesn't this world have that, but in Excel? I'd like to see each cell have not-so-straight lines, some cells with little bumps/warts here and there, and little gross hairs in the corners. Bonus points if they pulsate. A pivot table could maybe have an appearance like it's protruding out of the sheet, like a cartoon character who swallowed a safe and you can see the big square on their belly. Filtered rows could look like old skin wrinkles. "Excel illustrated by the one(s) responsible for Ren and Stimpy," I guess.

And that's just one gross hypothetical version. How about themes like Lisa Frank, or the menu from a Final Fantasy game. Think about the worlds in Super Mario Bros 3. Couldn't we have spreadsheets that are themed like a desert, an ice world, or a jungle.

I'm running out of ideas but hopefully you get the picture.

DO THESE EXIST?

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
