Hi @JonGemstone01

Thank you for posting your question in Microsoft Q&A.

Based on the information you shared, I understand that the Excel header turns grey and the icons become difficult to distinguish when you maximize the screen on your MacBook, but it returns to the normal green color when you revert to the standard window size.

However, due to limitations in my test environment, I hope you can provide some additional information via Private Message to help me investigate this further:

• Could you please let me know the specific version of macOS and Microsoft Office you are currently running?
• Since I am unable to see the video you mentioned, could you please provide full-screen screenshots showing the interface both before (normal) and after (maximized) the issue occurs?

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello, thank you for trying to answer this. The icons for attachment will not allow the video clip to attach, so below i have attached 2 frames from video, one showing Excel in part minimised state with green header and one with Excel in maximum screen size and the header now greyed out. Also included are versions for Excel & Mac OS.
