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.

How do you see the Pictures tile background image?

These steps will change the background of the tile:

• Open up pictures by clicking the tile
• in the pictures screen (which says all, date and favorites) tap and hold until a window pops up
• Choose Change background
• Select the desired picture form synced pictures or camera roll
• Position the square exactly how you would like to the picture to appear (it's the size of the "pictures tile")
• When done select the tick to acknowledge on the bottom of the screen
• Return to your home screen and check the pictures tile

 

20H2 Start Menu App Tiles Background Color

So after updating to 20H2 the default color of app tiles in the Start Menu changed. Previously, things looked like the Theme settings preview (see first image). Now, however, App Tiles are just Dark Gray on a Black background.

I know that it is possible to have different color backgrounds for app tiles. If I have to go somewhere and edit something, that's fine but if there's some setting I'm missing that's better.

Thanks in advance!
