Default [APP] OblyTile - Tile Creator for all programs.
This program is meant to create tile to the windows 8 start screen.

I created this in vb.net using SharpDevelop, it works for all programs/folder/files and even websites.

The program will store the image files inside the folder "C:\Program Files\OblyTile" and create the Shortcut .LNK file inside the StartMenu folder.

If you want to delete a Tile, right click it on the startmenu and select "Remove From Start" on the left bottom side.

ChangeLog:
  • The tile manager will automatically refresh when needed.
  • The function "Convert shortcuts to tiles" will use the associated program icon as tile image.

  • Fixed issue with steam url protocol.
  • Fixed issue with case-sensitive url.
  • Possible fix for high dpi settings.
  • Changed OblyTile icon.
Note Issues:
  • In order to launch the Immersive mode of your web browser by using a tile made with OblyTile, be sure to close the desktop version of it.
  • If the tiles are not showed properly (a normal icon is showed) open OblyTile and press the second button on top of OblyTile. (Rebuild cache)
  • If "Rebuild cache" does not work, try >> this <<
  • If the tiles will not react when you click it (the program or file will not be opened) follow those steps VBScript - Fix
