Tiles on Start screen

A tile is an easily recognizable visual shortcut for an application or its content that users can set in an arbitrary location on the phone’s Start screen.

Tiles that use the tile notification feature can update the tile graphic or title text, or increment a counter, enabling users to create a personalized, “glanceable” Start screen. Examples include displaying if it is their turn in a game, the weather, or how many email messages they have received.

The Start screen is always presented in Portrait view.
