Live Folders provide another great way to customize your start screen. They do a great job of allowing users to condense and logically group Live Tiles. However, they could be made much smarter in the way they display the Live Tiles within them. I propose that they should be smart enough to display all Live Tiles at once (if possible) while also respecting the user's sizing choices - after all the size indicates the level of importance the user places on that Live Tile. I have put together my proposal in a Microsoft Sway.

If you like it please vote for it on User Voice. I welcome feedback.

Edit:
I realize these mockups are from Windows Phone 8.1 but the concept is still applicable to Windows 10 Mobile. If you would like to vote for this idea now, please go to the Windows Feedback app on any Windows 10 device.

Now that Microsoft has shut down the user voice site, I'm bumping this to give everyone who originally voted for this idea there an opportunity to vote for it again in the Windows Feedback app. The app link is in the original post.
