Editing Outline Icons in PowerPoint

Slide Content

The slide presents guidelines for editing outline icons within PowerPoint. It suggests that changing the outline color or adjusting the width of the icon's outline is advisable; these modifications are depicted with successive changes in color and line width of the same icon to illustrate the impact. Conversely, it advises against giving outline icons a color fill, and using excessively thick lines, as these practices can detract from the icon's readability, demonstrated with examples that show decreased clarity.

• The left side of the slide shows two snippets of PowerPoint interface elements, indicating where changes to icons can be made.
• Arrows point from the text instructions to the corresponding icons, creating a visual connection between the direction and its outcome.
