About This Feature
Overview
Icon Solid Fill is a presentation formatting feature in WPS Office for Windows. It helps you apply a solid color to an icon and further adjust its transparency when needed.
Core capabilities include:
- Apply a solid fill from Theme Colors, Standard Colors, More Fill Colors, Recently Used Colors, or the Eyedropper.
- Customize a solid fill in Object Properties with color and transparency settings.
- Change icon color from the Home tab with Shape Fill.
- Open formatting controls from the right-click menu.
- Adjust fill settings from the side task pane.
This feature is useful when you want to align icons with a slide theme, highlight key visual elements, or create a softer semi-transparent icon effect.
