Installed Tiles on XPP SP3 & ran it in one profile (local machine).  Played with it for awhile, trying out each Tile Panel size and various other settings, then exited the program.

Now, even after a reboot, maximized windows are limited in width as if the large Tile Panel were there; won't max to the right screen edge (or to right-sided vertical Taskbar), leaving a big gap of wallpaper.  How do I get windows to max properly now?

EDIT:  With apologies:  I discovered that Tiles was loading on startup 'underneath' my vertical Taskbar & unseen.  Even so, windows were not maxing to the edge of the Tiles Panel (small size) or Taskbar with Tiles running.  I exited Tiles again & windows now maximize properly.

It's either on top of the systray, covering it, or under it and this means you can't get to pinned apps.

That should be all you have to do as long as your explorer is not running elevated (in which case try a reboot)

Note that the icons do not show on the docs or recent pages so if you are on one of those then change page.

Thanks for the response. I have confirmed that MS Office 2010 is previewable in Tiles. I'm sure they'll fix the shortcut issue in a future revision. In the mean time, I've created a shortcut for the program, but it lives in the actual "Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Office/Office14/" folder itself (because I don't want titles like EXCEL.EXE in the Tiles list). However, when I drag either the EXE or the shortcut into the Tile, it works fine.

Now, the only thing that's left, that I'd really like to do, is make Mouse 4 & 5 page through the Tiles regardless of where the pointer is or what window is active. A way to keymap the forward and back functionality would be the best. I have been trying to hack this in with AutoHotKey, but I'm a coding noob and don't have the time to tease out the proper syntax.

Still - I'm quite happy. I can't wait for it to get even more fleshed out.

Neil, any response to reply 52? 

I do not understand reply 52.

You can switch between pages using ctrl + alt + left arrow or ctrl + alt + right arrow.

Mouse buttons 4 & 5 were intentionally limited to when the mouse is over the tiles bar because webbrowsers use them for back and forwards and we did not want to cause problems with those.

I meant that when I loaded Tiles, the bottom of the panel was lapping over the taskbar, covering the systray. I set the taskbar to be on top of all windows, and then the apps pinned to tiles were below the taskbar, so they were inaccessible.

A reboot seems to have fixed it tho.

Opera not showing on the web tab should be fixed in the next beta.

^ Thanks Neil.

This of course is going to depend on the mouse drivers and any customizations the user may have made. Problem with buttons above button 3 is that they are entirely arbitrary and not really standardized to anything. In addition, buttons 4 and 5 aren't particularly well designed on the Logitech MX Revolution and are very much prone to sticking - I'd rather use something else, like the thumb wheel or the left/right tilt on my scroll wheel.

Note to SetPoint users: You have to close Tiles to remap the keys, otherwise Tiles will not allow SetPoint to see it.

Tiles is preventing my PC from shutting down.
When I shut it down the process hangs, and I get a message about 'application manager' not being able to continue because off another application.
I've never had this problem before installing Tiles.

If I close Tiles before shutting down - no problem. Turns off right away.

Vista Home Premium, 64 bit.

Not really sure when it happened but sometime within the last 48 hours I lost the Shutdown Options portion of the right click menu.

Now I only see

The shutdown options menu only shows when you have the taskbar hidden.

Ah....I see. I have it hidden via Objectdock and left it unchecked for Tiles.

Issue with CoreTemps and Outlook message icons in the Systray has been fixed in the update.

Web Page works now. Thanks.

I'm running Tiles v0.85 on Windows 7 64bit.  I didn't have any problems with 0.8 but this latest version has a problem when I start Windows explorer (explorer.exe).  I have explorer pinned to the taskbar, and as soon as I click it while Tiles is running, all the icons showing in the system tray disappear.  Notifications that would pop up from the system tray also don't show up correctly once this happens.  The taskbar also stops removing icons for closed applications and pinned applications don't start when clicked.  I also noticed that the start menu won't allow me to type anything in the search bar and the links don't highlight when I mouse over them. 

This taskbar/start menu problem will also happen if I manually start explorer by typing it into the start menu.  If I click on the Computer or Library shortcuts on my desktop, however, everything is fine.  I found that I can logoff and log back on and the taskbar and start menu are fine again, except Windows has all the system tray icons set to "only show notifications" and I need to reset my customizations of the system tray icons.  I also confirmed that these problems only occur if Tiles is running.

I see this after the nightly run of Acronis Trueimage 2011

We have reproduced this and found out why.  I hope we can put up an update later today.

Thanks! I look forward to checking out the new version.

The update should be up now.

This may have already been requested but after using this for a couple weeks 2 things really stand out......

I would REALLY like the ability to reorder the pages AND reorder the shortcuts.

On the flashing labels....I've noticed that shortcut names with extra periods in them seem to be the culprits. Like GPU-Z.0.5.2.exe

Change the name to remove them and the problem goes away.

I have a question:

I'm using ObjectDock and the option "Reserve of edge screen" and Tiles uses the same option - i know it's logical, but is it possible for Tiles do not reserve of edge screen?

The problem is Tiles is being told that there is a bar below it and so it automatically adjusts to handle this.  Objectdock is reserving that space,  but tiles has no idea that ObjectDock is the one doing this vs the taskbar or some other bar.

Ok, i understand that but Tiles has an option called "pin on top" so it could be over the Dock, right - or am i wrong?
