Build 4.0.0.3 of xlsgen makes a change to the default theme in new spreadsheets. It's been almost a year since xlsgen has been defaulting to a much more 3D-like and colorful theme, notably for charts.

Unfortunately, this is perhaps too much. And while this is trivial to use a different theme, it has to be said that the default theme plays a major role, particularly for clients upgrading the xlsgen version they are using.

So instead of internally defaulting to the Elemental theme (which is one of the 40+ available themes) :

workbook.Theme = workbooktheme_elemental;

we know default to the Office theme :

workbook.Theme = workbooktheme_office;


The change can be seen as pictured below :
