WP ToolBox 1.0.0.0
When carrying out this kind of personalization it is best to use specialized tools in order to obtain immediate results and maximum efficiency, especially since there is no shortage of such tools in the Windows Phone Store.
For those who want a bit more control and are willing to try one the dedicated utilities that serve as a repository for various system shortcuts and tools, WP ToolBox is one of the possible choices.
Clean graphics and smooth layout
This app comes with a very nice interface, featuring some cool graphics that are consistent from end to end. The system tiles you have at your fingertips have a neat design, with clear and crisp graphics and the text labels are also useful to help you identify them faster.
An important mention related to the way in which the shortcuts are displayed onto the Start screen is that you will only have them as small or medium tiles, as WP ToolBox does not provide support for wide tile format.
One tap to pin the shortcuts
The application offers you a good variety of quick access tiles for accessing system areas and carrying out common tasks like composing emails.
The data and connectivity related sections are represented through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Cellular shortcuts, while activating the Airplane mode or visiting the battery related area are also at hand.
The more common screen rotation lock, location services and lock screen settings can be reached also from the Start screen as soon as you add their corresponding tiles from the main screen of WP ToolBox.
Remove pinned tiles on the fly
An interesting feature of this particular application is the ability to unpin the active shortcuts from the same screen you added them in the first place.
If the pinning operation will take you automatically to the Start screen so enable you to arrange the items as you please, their removal will no longer do that and the indicator that the selected shortcut is no longer there is the actual pin button from WP ToolBox deactivated.
