Welcome to the all-new Windows Central Forums! - We're still moving some things around, so you may see a few quirks here and there, but we're working on getting things fully completed as soon as possible. For now, take a look around, and if you run into any major issues, please let us know in this thread!
This.I don't think we'll get it, because small tiles are gonna look way too small...
This.
On the Lumia Icon, 5-inch, the Tiles are just at the point that any smaller and you would have to hold the phone closer to your face to see detail on the small icons. I'd say 3 columns looks best on NL1520.
Lots of companies and researchers have done lots of testing on user interfaces. They all come to roughly the same conclusion about touch interfaces: to achieve a high probability that the right object is touched, the smallest a touchable region can be is about 9mm square with a 2mm gap on all sides. A 4.3" WXGA screen is 45.2mm across. Assuming no left and right margins, this width would allow for small tiles that are no larger than 7.7mm -- with the side margins, the tiles would be just 6.5mm squares.I don't mind having smaller tiles on my Lumia 1020. Just let the user have the option for the 3rd column. It's just like the icons on a 4k resolution on a 27" monitor.
reasons you CANT get 3 tile support:
1. everything is based on screen's resolution, not screen size
2. no, you cant have a custom screen's resolution like 983x506, 900x500 (see wikipedia)
3. even if the screen are 100' but screen's resolution are small, it still have only 2 tiles
I agree on the first point. Black saves power on OLED screens, but has no impact on LCD screens.Research results are excellent factor for decision making but it does not mean it applies to everyone. Black theme colored saves you battery according to tests but WP offers a white theme.
Possibly yes.So does that mean WP should not offer the third column because based on research and testing said NO?
Moreover, the smallest tile on a Lumia 920 is not that really small: Nokia Lumia 920 reportedly gets jailbroken, but there are more questions than answers | Windows Phone Central.Think before you post and also you can use google.![]()
since white color code are #FFFFFF which mean [FF red, FF green, FF blue], so it took all 3 subpixels to light up to get a white, basically it was like open all the light to get whiteTake for example of Lumia 1020 with its saturated pictures on Amber, it was criticized for being saturated but research says (according to Nokia) most people like it. Black theme colored saves you battery according to tests but WP offers a white theme.
what does this to do with the theme of black and white.. ?So does that mean WP should not offer the third column because based on research and testing said NO?
jailbroken phone are dangerous since it could be hacked and nokia lumia 920 are 1080pMoreover, the smallest tile on a Lumia 920 is not that really small: Nokia Lumia 920 reportedly gets jailbroken, but there are more questions than answers | Windows Phone Central

480x800 display phone dont get it, it is all based on the display resolution, not screen sizeDevelopers of WP can program to consider a 720p display to support the 3rd column. In fact during development of GDR3 it was reported that developers are using a Lumia 920 with the 3rd column. It's not hard to do considering you just need to change the size limit based on a resolution (maybe not good on phones lower than 4.3 inch).

As noted earlier, on OLED screens, the less light emitted, the more power saved. On LCD screens, it makes no difference what color is shown since the "light" is coming from the backlight, not the pixels themselves....so black are battery saver and less light to shine, so no eye-pain...
