Will try it ASAP as i love the concept. I have tried it a while back on 8.1 DP, but for some reason it keep a process running with black screen (i noticed while navegating on the background apps) everytime i clicked used a shortcut. That was annoying and because of that i stopped using it, but will try it again to see the updates

I checked all the tiles I have pinned and they work at all levels. These are the ones I checked:
Xbox music, video, and games
Skype
Facebook Messenger
Facebook
Twitter

Great! Thanks for doing that!

I've noticed something about the Xbox video shortcut: It turns out that when you tap the tile, it goes to the video collection part of the app instead of the home screen like tapping the actual tile would.

Do you have BBM in your list of translucent tiles?

Sorry bout that, but that's on Microsoft's side of things, I can't do anything about it.

Thank you! I'm tired of the BBM tile being out-of-place in my start screen. Please make it have a plain white metro icon and not the one we have now. :excited:

That's fine, I barely use the app anyways. I'll just keep the translucent tile for decoration.

Same! (Messenger tile)

Getting a SP3 today and probably getting back into the swing of things after a long break from working on the app. I plan to push out an update sometime next week. Hope you all are enjoying the app.

I'd like to have wide translucent tiles for apps with wide tile options like Xbox games, music, video; Twitter, etc.

Working on that, too.

So I've got a crazy idea.

Could it be possible to make the translucent shortcut tiles work as live tiles for some apps by using APIs? I think it would be sort of like making each of those apps (like Twitter, Facebook, etc.) a client app where people sign in to your app, but having the translucent tile open up the official app.
