===Apply===
===Organize===
Tiles works similarly to the modes that Microsoft has implemented. Any app that already supports the existing dark and light modes will automatically benefit from Tiles.
====Streamline your workflow====
Move from one application to the next quickly and easily by clicking through your lists of tiles. Switch between pages with a tap of your finger (on touchscreen devices) or a swipe of your mouse.
 
You can have multiple pages of tiles and label them any way you want, allowing you to organize your tasks in an efficient and visually appealing way.
 
====Increase your Productivity====
Organize your desktop by task by creating custom pages of Tiles for everything you're doing. Subpages show up as mini-Tiles, making it easy for you to categorize your tasks - and, if you're a Groupy user, your groups will show up in your Tiles, too!

===Customize===
====Manage your Pages====
Create custom pages to suit your computing style. Drag programs onto your sidebar by holding the shift key and creating a thumbnail of the application. Adjust the location of your Tiles bar to an area on the desktop that works best for you, create pinned icons for long-term shortcuts, and customize filters for the pages that sort out recent applications, minimized/maximized apps only, and much more.
 
Did you know you can eliminate the need for a taskbar by including system tray icons in your Tiles pages? Give it a try!
 
====Configure your Tiles====
Make Tiles work for you by adjusting the location of your bars. Choose which applications will show on each page, including adjusting filters for showing only minimized or maximized windows. Need some more desktop space? Utilize the auto-hide feature to hide your Tiles pages and clear up some room.


Stardock Tiles includes several new styles, like Crystal, Sky and Midnight. It also includes styles that let you change Windows to look like previous versions (XP, Windows 95, etc.) as well as alternative operating systems.

It also supports tweaking gradients, shadows opacity, and hundreds of other small elements of the Windows GUI.


Tiles makes it very easy for people to create their own styles. There are a lot of customization features that have been buried in recent years, such as font faces and sizes, detailed color choices, and much more.
