Editing Outline Icons in PowerPoint

Slide Content

The slide provides guidelines on how to effectively edit outline icons in PowerPoint presentations. It suggests that one can change the outline color of the icon easily, which means selecting a new color for the icon's edges to match the presentation theme. Additionally, it is encouraged to change the width of the icon outline by adjusting the shape weight, implying modification of the icon's line thickness for better visibility. Conversely, it advises against giving outline icons a color fill, as it can overshadow the design details, and cautions that using a line that is too thick may make the icon illegible.
