Tile Manager 1.9.0.0
For those who want to bring a fresh look onto their Start screen, Tile Manager is a utility that should not be overlooked as it features a wide range of app and system shortcuts and a lot of customization possibilities.
Easy to use and friendly front-end
This application has a very nice interface, featuring some cool graphics that are consistent from end to end. The functions and commands are all easy to reach and place conveniently inside the tile editing screens that correspond to the various types of shortcuts you can create.
Going through the various sections of the app is smooth and glitch-free, while the commands and functions you will need are all conveniently placed, easy to reach and use.
After one or two uses you will start to receive some notifications that ask you to rate and review Tile Manager, but these can be discarded and deactivated with one tap.
Pick layout type and the apps to pin
The utility is able to help you create a variety of shortcuts, starting form simple, single tile format and up to 8 tile wide folder links or medium-sized containers with 9 tiles in store.
For any of these items you can assign a wide variety of system settings shortcuts or pick one of the supported apps that correspond to social, media, navigation, system tools and other categories at your disposal.
In the "Edit Tile" screen from where you can access all the customization sections you also have the preview of the item you are currently working on.
Visual customization and app ordering
When it comes to the other enhancements you can add, Tile Manager is very well prepared to help you tweak every single tile included in the project. More precisely, you can make them transparent or pick a specific color and thus obtain a mosaic of tiles inside the shortcuts folder.
Modifying the order of the tiles is also at hand and here the preview will help a lot, as you can see immediately where the shortcuts move. This arrangement is kept inside the container as well.
Once you finish all the personalization activities, you can pin the single tile or tile folder to the Start screen and have all the apps and system areas one tap away. The tiles you create are always available from the "History" section of the application for you to change, pin or remove.
