Tiles 1.0 Released!

Published on January 25, 2012 By Island Dog In WinCustomize News

Stardock has released Tiles 1.0 today.

Tiles works by creating a side-bar on a user’s display. At the top of the side-bar are labels for each page such as ‘My Tiles’ or ‘Documents’ or ‘Apps’. Users can then drag and drop programs, documents, or website URLs onto Tiles. When the program is inactive, it appears as an icon. When it is active, it appears as a live preview tile. The look of Tiles can also be customized further with additional themes, background images, and more.

Tiles is available as a free download with additional features available for purchase, as well as a full version at $9.95 for instant access to all of the features or as part of the award-winning full suite of desktop utilities, at or as part of Stardock’s award-winning full suite of desktop utilities, Object Desktop.

Download from Download.com.

Not bad at all. Was a bit hesitant after trying the beta, but it's an addition. The skinning of tiles seems somewhat superfluous. When your run Deskscapes it's best transparent. How do i set the color's of the text?

This is how it looks like now:

Tiles includes a skin editor so your best bet would be to make a transparent skin and set the text colour of the various settings in that to white.
