Windows 10: Oblytile alternative?

Hello,

is it possible to pin a folder rather than an application (and if possible, how)?

Thanks!

 

Thank you

 

TileCreator seems to be working fine for me so far, the app does pop open for a brief second when you run any apps you've created tiles for but it's no biggie, and it makes the start screen look so much better. I like the no text, too, wish I could do it for the other tiles without having to make new ones but oh well..

 

Getting close with High Contrast Theme! *Wink

 

Right so, apparently if you have this issue delete the folder and make sure to run the proxy executable as administrator. Soon as I did this it worked perfect.


Code: Obsolete Unfortunately its not working for me, I installed the file and set up the key/destination. But Tile Creator is not making any usable tiles for me. Same as the person with the Tera screenshot, I am getting the same issue. leagueoflegends:I:\League of Legends\lol.launcher.exe Obsolete[/quote]

 

Open the 'ApprovedApps.config' file, type this, for example:





then Shift-Right Click on a folder and 'Copy as Path':





... and paste, but remove the quotation marks, and Save:





Pick your image!

 

Unfortunately do to limitations and restrictions of store apps this is a necessary evil to get custom tiles to work. You can however open Tilecreator and drag it to a corner behind your taskbar so you never notice it pop up, you can just about make a sliver of mine out behind my show desktop button:





If I need to edit or create a new tile I just open the app and press windows key + left and it will appear back normally on my desktop.

 

Hi,

I just published an app to create tiles on Windows 10 Start Menu. It's called "Better StartMenu". You can try it for free.

Better StartMenu

Here's a screenshot of what you can do with Better StartMenu.

Thanks for the tip! Just put it as far into the corner as I could. I had wondered if something like that would work, but I hadn't opened the program since making me tiles.

 

Tile a file from Microsoft is working in Windows 10! Just download from the store.

Can't tile executables *Sad

 

Hello Woops...

Executable files you can pin to the startmenu! Easy. But when you have a shortcut to a file that you use a lot and that you want to be able to open with one mouseclick in the startmenu, Tile a File is e good option.
Another app, that is somewhere mentined on this forum is Better Startmenu. Looks great, but is not working! I yust got back my money from Microsoft.

Greetings,
Hans

 

This APP (Better StartMenu) is not working at all! *cry *Mad
When downloading the app (try out version) nothing is happening!
The payed version (2,99) is not working to!
The help app that you need to install gives a warning by Microsoft. Unknown software and supplier! Do not install!

I just got a refund from Microsoft.

Please let me know when it is working without problems.

Greetings,
Hans

 

Hmm.. Gonna steer clear of that app. TileCreator does the same thing for free, anyways.
