Give Office 2016 Start Menu Tiles Colored Backgrounds


After upgrading to Office 2016, I have noticed that the start menu tiles lost their colorful backgrounds and were reverted back to the accent color. Here is how to fix that so the tiles have colored backgrounds.

This guide shows you go to go from this:
Attachment 113103
To this:
Attachment 113105

Step 1
Navigate to your Start Menu folder
Typically can be found at: "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"

Step 2
Find the shortcut for one of the Office suite apps and rename it to anything you want.

Step 3
Reopen the Start Menu, the page will refresh and the tile will now be colored (assuming you have pinned it on the front page)

Step 4 (Optional)
Rename the shortcut back to its original name, the tile will still remain colored.

Tile Text Color

Hi DJTang,

To get black text on tiles, you will need to change the background from dark to light. This can eb found on the

"Personalize my Start screen and theme color"
page.

To change the background

• 
  In the App list, tap Settings
  
  > Start
  + theme.
  
• 
  Under Background, tap the current background.
  
• 
  Choose one of the following:
  
  • To make your background black, tap Dark.
  • To make your background white, tap Light.

 

change theme color

also, if you are using a background image on the start screen the tile colors won't change. The tiles that are a fixed color will remain whatever color they've always been and the tiles that could change colors with a theme change will remain transparent
to show the background image.
