Capability Summary	In WPS Presentation, you can apply a solid fill to shapes from Drawing Tools, the Home tab, the right-click menu, and the side properties pane, and you can adjust transparency in object properties.	Microsoft Office supports Shape Fill for colors, No Fill, More Fill Colors, and transparency adjustment, with additional fill types such as picture, gradient, texture, and pattern fills.	Google Docs lets you create and edit drawings, insert shapes, and change fill color, line color, line thickness, and border style from the drawing canvas tools.	Notion focuses on notes, documents, and simple tables for structured information. Its official help pages describe tables and content blocks rather than slide-shape solid fill editing.	Adobe Acrobat supports adding shapes, lines, and freeform drawings for PDF markup and review workflows, with shape-based annotation tools rather than slide design editing.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS provides 5 common entry points for the same task, which helps you change shape fill quickly during slide editing. Distinct: You can adjust solid fill and transparency directly in object properties while staying in a presentation workflow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft documents broader fill types and effect options. For quick solid fill changes inside a presentation editing flow, WPS keeps the task focused on slide object styling.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs shape fill changes happen inside the Drawing canvas. WPS keeps the workflow directly on the presentation page around the selected shape.	Compared with WPS: Notion is centered on document structure and information organization, not presentation-shape styling.	Compared with WPS: Adobe Acrobat is oriented toward PDF commenting and markup. WPS is more aligned with ongoing slide design and formatting work.

Overall Conclusion

If your main goal is to keep shape color, transparency, and slide styling adjustments inside a presentation workflow, WPS offers a direct editing path with several entry points. If you need broader fill types, browser-based drawing tools, document-first organization, or PDF markup workflows, the other products may fit those scenarios better.
