Tile customization

[Jenso-DE]

Hi,
first of all, great tool! 👍
Would be very happy, if it would be possible to configure the Tiles (and maybe the Taskbar Pins) as well. Do you have any plans / timeline for this?
Regards,
Jens

Hi, and thanks!
I'm planning to add the feature, but for now is only in my thoughts. I have two major problems:

1. How to manage tiles in program: not sure if a "Tile designer" is the right thing to do. Maybe three attributes in the shortcut properties could feet the needs: Create Tile, Tile Group, Tile Order.

2. Haven't found an API, except the LoadXMLLayout, which can be used to populate tiles.

Set the attributes in the shortcut properties is enough, at least in my opinion. This is all better then editing the XML file and let it push via GPO. Which some times breaks the layout, "doubles" the start menu tiles (only for some users, so the file should be ok) or bricks the icons. So my hope is, when importing the layout in user-context it is not so buggy.
We customize the start menu on 2016/2019 terminal servers.
