Editability of Stroke in Outline Icons

Slide Content

The slide presents the customizable features of stroke in outline icons, emphasizing the flexibility of these elements. First, it explains that you can change the color of an icon by altering the outline color rather than the fill color, offering a clear visual distinction. Secondly, it illustrates how adjusting the outline thickness can adapt the icon to different scaling requirements, ensuring it remains legible at various sizes. Lastly, it demonstrates that these icons can be effectively used against dark backgrounds, enhancing their versatility in different design contexts.

Graphical Look

• The slide background is divided diagonally into two shades of blue; lighter at the the top and darker at the bottom.
• The title "Editability of Stroke in Outline Icons" is at the top in a large, teal font.
• There are three content sections aligned horizontally, each with a text block on the left and a pair of icons on the right.

• Important words in the text blocks, such as "Outline" and "e.g. when scaling", are highlighted in bold teal for emphasis.
• The icons are simplified hand symbols, each progressing from a default state on the left to an edited state on the right, indicated by an arrow.
• The edited icons show changes corresponding to the text description — change in outline color, outline thickness, and adaptation to a dark background.
