Google Slides theme customization settings are comprehensive, but the user interface is not very friendly for first-time users. The user interface lacks clear prompts; you need to search for the desired option among a row of icons. This might discourage some people. In contrast, the recently released theme feature from Smallppt guides users step-by-step. The page prompts are clear, intuitive, and easy to follow, with setting sections clearly distributed for immediate clarity.
