    How to group tiles


    I can move items from the Start list to produce tiles and I can enter names in the name bars but I am finding it impossible to group tiles. One of the tutorials seems to suggest that all you need to do is move one tile on top of another to group them, but all that happens for me is that I end up with one tile chasing a second tile around the screen! So, what exactly am I doing wrong?

    :)

  2. Custom tile image/size/groupings

    The Calendar, Picture, and "now", use 2 tiles spaces.. how can we change the size so it's only 1 tile?

    How can we change the icon used on the tiles .. I love the live tiles, but some of the other apps/tiles just sit there.. ??

    Groupings : Can we create a grouping tile that can hold multiple apps of my choosing ?????

    How to create a Start Screen Group Tile

    Hold the tap on the tile you want to move, move it over the group and hold it there.

    To remove a tile, expand the group, hold the tile you want to move out and move it out of the group.

    Create a group by moving a tile over another tile.

    Remove a group, expand the group and move all tiles out of the group

    You can resize the group and resize the tiles in the group

    How to group tiles

    Tiles below that name bar is actually a group. If you click on name bar, you can drag it to different location (all tiles at once). True tiles grouping is coming with next update (Insider preview at the moment).

    Thanks for the reply. I think I've sussed it out now. What I needed to do was to drag items from the Start list into the group.
