Windows 10: background color of Mail app tile remains unchanged? how to change it?

I could personalisze the background color of all tiles of the start menu without any problem.

However the background of the Mail app Tile cannot be modified and remains blue which gives a horrible aspect to the start menu.

How can I change this background? Why such an inconsistency in ? Thanks for your assistance.

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.

Changing the background color of apps

Hi,

There may be settings on your computer that has been changed that's why the background color of your apps has also changed. With Chrome, you may have added a color change extension to it which allows users to change its background color. With Microsoft Office
applications, there are options to change its background color depending on which application you have open. Below are some of the option:


Change the background or color of a document


Add or change the background color of cells


Change the Office theme

However, for us to properly isolate this issue, we would like to ask the following information:

• Have you made any changes or performed any updates on your computer before this happened?
• Aside from adjusting the appearance settings on your PC, what other steps have you tried?

If possible, we would like to ask for a screenshot of your Office applications to help us sort this out.

Looking forward to your reply.

Regards.
