Making Tiles Smaller and Larger

Some Tiles can be made larger and smaller, to display less or more information. You might want to make the Outlook tile smaller, for example, so that it only shows you the number of new emails and not the senders and subjects (if perhaps other people can read over your shoulder), or you may have a news Tile that when made larger shows you additional information about current events .


You can make a Tile larger or smaller by touching and holding it with your finger or right-clicking it with your mouse. From the App Bar, you can then click/touch the Resize button. If you do not see a Resize option, then the tile you have selected cannot be resized.

You can also turn the Live Tile aspect of the app off completely, perhaps for privacy reasons, by selecting Turn Live Tile Off from the App Bar when you have selected it. This prevents the Tile from displaying in‐ formation such as details of emails, photos, or calendar appointments.
