Hi there
Is there any way of increasing the number of HORIZONTAL tiles in a group on larger monitors which seem to have a maximum of TWO. (On smaller screens you get 4 or even 5).
On a small screen I get 4 across which seems actually better. The other point is can I make the Group names clearer - Text would be great to have say in ORANGE or Brilliant WHITE. - Screenshot from el cheapo 21 inch monitor (destined for The Tip next week) but I'm at a colleagues house in London for the weekend.
I've re-arranged the tiles in a way that seems much better now now - rather than say have OFFICE all in office apps I've re-arranged by what I use most such as EXCEL, Powerpoint, Outlook same with Multi-media, Utilities etc rather than application specific. Seems MUCH easier to work this way and less cluttered. For things I use rarely I can search the apps. There's really no need to have all the applications grouped by application -- but by the convenience of how you use them. Slightly different to "Classic Menu" but I'm not hating this method of working --takes several "Goes" to get things in decent order and where corporates will fail is that everybody will have different "Favourites" and therefore to "Standardize" on tile could be a nightmare.
I don't hate this anything like as much as when I started but it's still a LOT OF WORK to get it "Useable" --For most people it won't be a straight OOBE job.
I've removed all the MS Metro apps from the start screen -- can't see myself using things like Weather etc on a COMPUTER --got a smart phone for all those type of apps anyway.
Enc screenshot of tiles -- there was some registry Hack to increase nr of tiles in a horizontal group but I can't find it any more.
cheers
