Windows 10: Oblytile alternative?

You can go to a few sites to convert png to ico for free. Here's the one that I use:

ConvertIcon!

 

Until there is an app that allows you to pin custom tiles without first launching the program that makes them then there is no alternative to Oblytile.

 

I made a few apps when I tested windows 10 for developers. I'm new to the app developer scene and kinda just picked it up as a new hobby for my spare time. If you'd like, I could pick apart oblytile and see how it works, then just create my own windows 10 version. Mind you, whatever I end up creating will most likely be buggy at first an you'll need to report bugs to me.

I shouldn't have any problems figuring out how to create it though... I dissected the windows 8 Evernote app to see how it worked and successfully created my own (for fun and education, not profit).


I won't be posting any finished product online for download or in the app store, ever. Anyone that wants to help with a testing phase or would like to install the finished product can e-mail me at L: brittanyoyster@gmail.com

Unfortunately, I have to agree... it's a real annoyance. The developers seem to agree that it's not possible, but maybe someone will find a way.

Not bad, still buggy though!

 

@Edwin, those look pretty good to me. I'm a Rush fan too *Cool

 

Right on! *Smile

I'm pretty impressed with the possibilities but the implementation needs work.

 

Fyi:

 

It would be good if 'Tile Creator' and 'Tile Creator Proxy' could be somehow combined into one program. This would then perform the same function as OblyTile. I've changed the appearance of a good number of tiles using the two programs and it seems to work OK. The screenshot below shows the result:
