Question

Windows 8.1, inconsistent size choices for Live Tiles

Nov 7, 2013 10:17AM PST

Hi -

When I go to customize a live tile, only get 2 choices when resizing (SMALL or MEDIUM).

Most other tiles can be resized in 4 sizes (SMALL,MEDIUM,WIDE,LARGE).

Any idea why or how to fix it? Where would I go to control it?

MSFT's choices and attitude didn't work for me. I installed Classic Shell and haven't seen Metro for months.

PC used to mean Personal Computer but the times are changing.
