I love Live tiles, but, visually and style wise I do have a problem.
The Dramatic, slap you round the face with a plank of wood clash between the very subtle monochrome Tile/Icons, and the bright colourful ones.
They REALLY clash and can make it all so messy.
for me there is one simple answer. Require all apps to have 2 tile icons. A colour one and a plain 2 tone one.
You have these ones that can look oh so neat, esp with transparency and a nice background:

Then you mess is all up by throwing colour ones in the mix:

Well said!, exactly. I personally love the full transparency look on win10.That's why people love WP because of how unordinary it is. It's like looking at a carefully crafted landscape unlike the static ones found on android and ios. take away their background and what's left?
That's why I could NEVER go ios or android unless WP DIED!!! Wouldn't know what to do with static tiles with numbers on them. I could scroll over my start screen as much as I want looking at what new info is listed on Cortana, news, twitter, wp central, facebook, 6tag, flipboard, etc. Can any ios or android user do that without touching their phone to open an app?:wink:
I much prefer live tiles. The whole "old school" 90's style of desktop icons that iOS and Android use just seems so outdated and visually dull to me.
I'm a huge fan of the "picture in tile" look and remain convinced that had it been a customization feature when WP8 launched, it would have made a difference in the adoption rate of WP8. I loved solid colour tiles, but I remember when the Lumia 920 launched, many people complained that they loved the phone but didn't like the solid colour live tiles.
Part of the beauty of the Windows Phone start screen is the customization that we now enjoy. The accent colours, backgrounds, and arrangement of tiles can make a world of difference in the aesthetic appeal of Windows Phone / Win10 Mobile from one phone to another.
