This just makes Windows 8 so much better.
You can make tiles to open any program, and customize said tiles with any icon or background color you want. The result is a much more colorful start screen, even for those like myself who rarely use Metro apps.
Here's what my start screen looks like now:
Almost all of the "metro" looking tiles in this screenshot actually open desktop applications...including all the libraries, the Computer and Control Panel shortcuts, and the shut down/restart buttons (if you haven't put these on your start screen yet, do it already)
Apparently the developer is working on an update that supports double width tiles as well. But in its current state, it's still awesome. I just wish I could have that cool live slideshow of my pictures library without having to pin the stupid metro app.
Anyway, this should make life easier for anyone here who has Win8 already, since I know most of us here have pretty powerful desktops and are uninterested in full-screen metro apps.
