TileArt

One of the advantages of the latest version of the system is customization. And, with it, its characteristic home screen operating Windows Phone full of tiles can finally customize itself with background images distributed among all the boxes A singular effect that allows each screen of these terminals to be made unique Of course, as long as you have the right images or the right tool. To facilitate this process Microsoft has published TileArt, a complete application with many possibilities.

Just start the application to start creating patterns of tiles with images Thus, it is possible to take advantage of a photograph or own image to apply on the tiles, but without losing functionality. And it is that it will act as wallpaper, showing the data of interest on each box, but dividing it to respect the structure of large and small tiles that the user has chosen . The result is a custom background with the applications that the user wants to anchor on the home screen, but without losing a bit when choosing the image you want to use as background

The nice thing about TileArt is that it allows the user to choose any image from their gallery. In this way you can choose a photo with your partner, a portrait, a scene or a landscape that you want to always keep on the home screen.With this, all that remains is to choose its framing and the way in which it will fit with the tiles and their sizes. One point in favor of this application is that it has support for PNG format images, well known for allowing the introduction of transparencies With them the user can use a cropped image and select a background color or secondary image. Something that will show the highlighted object, without other elements and, therefore, with a more spectacular and striking composition when browsing this screen.

But if you don't have PNG images or don't know how to use any of the editing tools to create them, TileArt also has its own selection A gallery packed with images of video games, comics, scenes and other compositions that other usersor the Microsoft team have created it especially for everyone's enjoyment.It is enough to select the desired one and apply it, being able to even have a lock screen according to the home screen created or chosen.

Similarly, if the user has created their own screen, they can also share it with other users if they wish. And not only that. Along with the option to send it to the TileArt gallery for other users, you also have the option to show off your own creation to the share it on your social networks

In short, a very practical visual tool for fans of customization. With it it is possible to create and take advantage of the new system of backgrounds and tiles of Windows Phone 8.1 or, at least, find screens already created especially for it. But the best part is that TileArt is fully available free through Windows Phone Store
