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.
