Is that the Custom tile creator (can't remember the name ) app? Looks great for those who doesn't use the start screen as their launchers

Off topic: I really hope that the TrackSeries dev fix the 1/1/1 bug. It kind of triggers OCD in a way

Yeah, it's the 'Custom Tiles Maker'. Works a lot better than the MetroTiles trial version I used before.

I'm running Windows Server 2012 as well... How did you manage to change the desktop? I can't change mine at all from the standard baby blue window chrome.

Thanks I'm more concerned with the tile not being coloured and the icon still being smaller than the icons on most "Metro" tiles, though, unfortunately. But at least your suggestion would help somewhat

You guys should check this (buried ) thread. It's OblyTile which allows us to have the Metro icons on Desktop applications. Kitty, you can use those PNGs as well. Just needs a bit of resizing.



*by buried I mean, most people seem to want consistency on the start screen and this tiny app surely solves that one and yet it was left unnoticed .

Good call on that program.. a little touchy at times, fairly time consuming when you want to do a bajillion of them, but definitely liking the results so far.
