Tiles Toolbox 1.8.0.0
Carrying out this kind of personalization requires specialized third-party tools because there is no other way of tinkering with the shortcuts and Tiles Toolbox might be one of the best choices out there.
Stylish appearance with a well-designed layout
This app comes with 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 corresponding to the several types of shortcuts you can create.
Moving around the utility and browsing the list of icons you can apply to the tiles is smooth and glitch-free, but there are some nuisances that follow you around.
Every once in a while some full screen ads will appear as you go through the various sections of the app, while after one or two uses some prompts that ask you to rate and review Tiles Toolbox will come into view.
Pin system, application and website tiles on the fly
The application offers you a wide variety of shortcuts for accessing system areas and carrying out common tasks like composing emails or messages. There is also a neat set of tiles dedicated to controlling the audio playback.
For those who need to write down memos or work with documents a lot, the "office" category of setting tiles will offer a quick means of creating notes, as well as Word, Excel and OneNote files.
Tiles Toolbox comes with a neat database that contains quite a few third-party apps and games that most users install onto their handsets and their tiles are ready for customizing from the corresponding area of the utility.
In case you have some online pages that you access frequently, you can now create special tiles just for them, as this application supports this functionality as well.
Quick tile creation, with custom settings
For the shortcuts you want to put together there are several options at your disposal, so you can adjust the icon size and opacity or remove it altogether, choose the background color and even use portions of pictures stored onto your Windows Phone as tile wallpapers.
A great thing about Tiles Toolbox is that it supports all tile sizes and the preview offered inside the editing screen is a full-sized wide tile. After adding a title and making other modifications, you can pin the fresh tile to the Start screen with one tap.
