I general like to hide spreadsheet gridlines. Google Docs has them on by default when you create a new sheet. Is there any way to have them hidden by default?
Hide gridlines in Google Docs spreadsheets by default?

I've searched the net and wasn't able to find a solution for you. As per this answer on SO, it's also not possible to do it via Google Apps Script.Copying from a template, having no gridlines, is just as quick as deselecting the gridlines.
