Questions tagged [live-tile]

Live tiles are the entry point of Microsoft Metro apps, and can be updated with information to display to the user in an easily digestible format.

Live tiles represent Metro apps in the Start screen. They are the primary method through which the user will launch Metro apps, but they can also surface information and notifications directly through the tile itself, making it a dynamic representation of apps even when they are not running.
