How to change number of rows in win 8.1 start screen

[Jaskaran498]

Hello
I am using Win 8.1 x64.
Can anyone please tell me how to change number of rows on it? I want 3 rows in centre of screen.
I did see some tutorials but they said "Only for windows 8". So please guide me through this.

Hello Jaskaran,

You could use Option One in the tutorial below to change the number of app rows in Windows 8.1, but only if your screen resolution is set to 1920 X 1200 or above.

Hello Jaskaran. You asked about setting to 3 rows in the center.

I use 1920 x 1080 and 3 rows.

The provided links are great! They have lots of info and tweaks.
I always use 3 rows but have become a fan of HUGE tiles - 2 in the center.
There are an unlimited number of ways to customize the start screen.

If you look at the bottom of the tutorial page (Related Tutorials)
http://www.eightforums.com/tutorial...etro-apps-change-number-rows-windows-8-a.html
there is a long list of possibilities.

My preference @ 1920 x 1080 for my 37" HDTV is to set the display to LARGER and work from there.

3 rows and 2 HUGE (this way requires 1 HUGE tile, just my preference)



in 8.1.1 - right click a start screen tile and resize to Large



Good Luck!

...So please guide me through this.

Just a note, it is necessary to use Oblytile to create "resizable to Large customized tiles"
