If they’re squares, right-click them and resize them to “Wide,” as that’s their native size, then organize them how you would like. Once you start pinning your games to your Start menu, you might need to scroll down to find their icons. Bear in mind that you’ll need to have your Steam ID handy and your Steam profile set to “Public” for this to work.
The Windows Store app Steam Tile does just that. Instead of booting up Steam to load up your favorite games or cluttering up your desktop with their icons, why not have them appear as Live Tiles, complete with live achievements information and your playtime. To add your Google Calendar as a Live Tile, click the Start menu, type “Calendar,” right-click the Windows app, then click “Pin to Start.” Unlike with the Gmail app, info from within your Google Calendar will appear in the Live Tile. If this is a Gmail account, then “Gmail” should also automatically appear in the Windows “Calendar” app. When you’re done, your alternative email address should appear in the pane on the left under “Accounts.” Right-click it, click “Pin to Start,” and there it will be! Open the Windows Mail app, click “Accounts” in the pane on the left, then in the pane on the right click “Add account.” Enter all your details. But you can link your Gmail, or any other email account, to your Live Tiles instead. Add Gmail, Google Calendar and More as Live Tilesīy default, the Calendar and Mail apps will prompt you to link your Windows account, which will then show up in your Live Tiles. Open the website you want on Edge, click the menu icon at the top right, “Pin this page to Start,” then drag it over from “Recently added” to the Tiles section. Yep, in order to get site icons, you’ll need to pin websites to your Start menu from Microsoft’s own browser. If you want the actual site logo instead, then you’ll need to use the following. Unfortunately, the site icon doesn’t translate over to the live tiles, so you’re left with a generic Chrome icon instead. In the Start menu you can now drag it over to the Live Tiles section. That site should now appear as a thumbnail on your desktop but also under “Recently added” in the Start menu. To grab a website from Chrome and turn it into a Live Tile, open the site, click the three-dotted menu icon at the top right -> More tools, then “Add to desktop.”
