The skin applied to the control is defined in the SpreadSkin class. You can apply built-in skins (default skin) for creating common formats and custom skins that you create yourself. The built-in skins are defined in the DefaultSkins class. If no skin is applied to the spreadsheet component then default skin (Excel 2016 Colorful) is used. Refer to the following image for the same.
