Sorry, currently there are no plans to implement tiles in the foreseeable future. Live tiles are impossible (without reverse engineering and rewriting a large portion of the OS). Even dead tiles are a lot of work - people will want to add/remove/reorder/edit them dynamically.

As with that other thread, I didn't think you'd try to make them Live...

I think I might've already said this before...but what if you just displayed the Start Screen/Win10 menu inside of the space for tiles? Start8 does (did?) something similar to that, just without surrounding it in the rest of a menu.


EDIT: ImmersiveTaille ( http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS- ... ille.shtml ) resizes the Start Screen too .-.



...kfine, sorry to bother you .-.

It is not possible to display the start screen inside another window. It is using a completely different and incompatible technology.
Start8 simply finds the main window of the menu and resizes it. It doesn't mix two menus in a single UI. Besides, that trick only worked for Windows 8.

...it's really that hard to put a left column in beside it? Huh...just when I thought my understanding couldn't be any more limited... O.o
