Great tip to show more tiles/apps on the Surface 2 screen

[BaritoneGuy]

I found this tip while browsing today. Using it you can get up to 6 rows of tiles on the Surface 2 home screen. I suspect it will also work on the Pro although I have not tried it

Run more apps and show more tiles on your Surface 2 or high-dpi Windows 8.1 Laptop - Scott Hanselman

Enjoy

Thanks, I'll try this on my Surface RT :grin:

EDIT: It wasn't available on Surface RT

I suspect you need a high DPI device. the 1366 x 768 of the RT wouldn't qualify.1080P is likely the barrier for entry.

This is great. Now my laptop and surface can have truly identical start screens...and I was always wondering why I could snap three apps in my laptop and not on my Surface 2 even with the same native resolution. Now I can.
