Windows Tile Creator

An open source Java program for creating custom designed Windows 10 tiles.
Good for Windows users who want to improve their StartMenu looks.

Program restrictions

• The program should start with admin privileges. (Because it needs a write access to your selected application folder)
• The program is not able to refresh your StartMenu tile. You need to do this manually by renaming StartMenu application shortcut or by resizing the tile.

Program features:

• Creates the 'VisualManifestElements.xml' file inside of an exe file directory with user requirements. Such as background tile color, custom user image (70x70 or 150x150) or enables the title of an application on a large tile.
  
  
• Creates the 'Icons' folder inside of the exe file directory with occasional images of the application. This folder is being created only if a user requires an own application image.
  
  
• The program saves its local settings into the %AppData%\WindowsTileCreator folder as save.properties. This feature is smart for quick loading your previous settings.
