Slide Background Color
Changing a presentation’s background color is made simpler with this quick shortcut. When changing slide background color, you’ll want to make sure you change it on the master layout, that way your changes will be applied to all slides, new and old. Normally, you could achieve this by going to View>Slide Master and that would open the targeted master layout.
However, if you change the background on this slide, it will not apply to the template. Instead, you need update the background color on the Master slide at the top.
A quick and easy shortcut to achieve this is to simply hold SHIFT + DOUBLE-CLICK on the NORMAL VIEW icon in the lower right bar.
This is will automatically open the master to the top slide where you can quickly update all slide backgrounds.

NXPowerLite Blog (and Troy Chollar Quote)
NXPowerlite is a great app that TLC Creative Services has made use of for several years. The current version, Desktop 8, was the biggest release for new features. I was happily asked to contribute input and ideas as the Neuxpower team was busy strategizing the big release. On a recent Neuxpower blog they talked about the Custom Profiles and to my surprise, I was a part of the blog!
Check out the blog post here.

Windows 10 Start Menu Icons (Complaining)
Look at the Microsoft Office Icons – they look great. Okay, I am not commenting on the icons themselves, but the color coding, size and how easy to see and identify.
Now look at the Adobe Creative Cloud icons. All are on the Windows theme color (blue), but small, and there is no difference between Acrobat Distiller and Acrobat Reader…
Other issues are Chrome on the white background, the Hightail app icon has white pixels around it, and Firefox (to me) is the most beautiful of icons I have on my Start Menu.
