Dot Matrix Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 How do you add titles, like Social, News, etc, and group your icons under it like that? Not seeing that option. https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1025948-flaunt-your-windows-8-screenshots-here/page__view__findpost__p__594912529 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efjay Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Made my desktop match Start. Love the black on lime theme. Matches up with my Windows Phone. Are you now able to match the desktop background with the start screen one in the RTM? Cant find a way to do that on the RP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Are you now able to match the desktop background with the start screen one in the RTM? Cant find a way to do that on the RP. I don't think you can. I've not found a way to do it, at least. Which is what I wanted to do. The only thing I can think of is copying your current wallpaper into w/e folder has the Start Screen background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dot Matrix Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Are you now able to match the desktop background with the start screen one in the RTM? Cant find a way to do that on the RP. No, I had to clear my Start Screen, snapshot it, and edit out the rest of the clutter in Paint.Net to use it as a background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George P Global Moderator Posted August 19, 2012 Global Moderator Share Posted August 19, 2012 I really wonder how things will look if/when MS adds support for "small" tiles on the start screen. There's a case to be made that you'll start to run into scrolling hell at some point which is why I believe MS made the changes to WP8 that it did, small tiles as an option saves space etc, and also why they got rid of the right hand gutter (though some people didn't like it as well).

Anthonyd Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I like how you can spot Windows Phone users, they don't put caps inside the start screen groups names. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windows 8 has the default square tiles and then the bigger double wide tiles to pick from, there is no 3rd option like with WP8/7.8 to have an even smaller tile on your screen.

No not yet, expect some sort of tool in the future though. I have no doubt about this ability coming soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I believe all it requires it editing of a few DLL files. It won't take much to create a simple tool to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
