Transparency Tiles 1.4.0.0
There are quite a few applications in the Store designed to accomplish this goal and among them is Transparency Tiles, a tool that aims to make everything as simple as one tap.
Plain appearance for a tool focused on practicality
The looks of this app are in contrast with the beautiful effects it can create on the Start screen, so the dull interface doesn't do it justice at all. One of the very few good things that can be associated with this layout is the nice organization of the supported utilities, which makes it very easy to find and pin the ones you need.
Navigating through the dozens of apps listed inside Transparency Tiles is very smooth and the utility will be very responsive every time you will try to pin a new tile to the Start screen.
Add tiles of all sizes onto the Start screen
There is nothing to configure, no special menus to visit since everything is in plain sight and up for grabs. The operation could hardly be made simpler, as all you will have to do is browse the long list and press the button corresponding to the application you want to add to the Start screen.
A neat thing about the tiles you will activate is that they support all three sizes, small, medium and wide, so it will very easy to make them fit any kind of arrangement you may have in mind.

Bottom Line
Design / UI3
Lots of points are lost because of the overly simplified interface that doesn't have any customization options and comes with a monotonous color scheme from the get-go. |
Function6
The simple operation and good diversity of supported apps work in the favor of this utility, but there are many downsides as well. No shortcuts to system settings can be added as transparent tiles to the Start screen and users cannot create custom tiles. |
Security10
Top marks for this app insofar as the privacy is concerned because it doesn't send data from the device, nor does it try to access at any moment restricted areas of the system. |
Battery9
The power consumption for this application is barely noticeable, so the battery usage will remain at low levels all through the runtime of Transparency Tiles. |
Price10
Completely free of costs and nuisances, very easy to use and covering many apps installed by most users, this utility has a very good value overall and will surely fit the bill for those looking to add more transparency onto their Start screen. |
Compatibility8
Those who own more recent Windows Phone devices, running version 8 and above of the operating system will have no problems in using this tool, as it only needs a screen resolution of HD720P (720x1280), WVGA (480x800) or WXGA (768x1280). |
