Strengthening of triceps has no effect on the carrying angle. Please do not worry about a technical term and try and do something about it.

Strengthning triceps would definately tone your muscles and improve appearance.
But carrying angle is defined by the bony segments..if that is abnormaly on the greater side then there would be no visible difference.
