You can enlarge and reduce the tiles on the Windows 8 Metro interface - depending on which icon is most important to you. You can find out how to do this here.
Make Windows 8 tiles bigger and smaller again
The start screen interface in Windows 8 is made up of tiles - which do not always fit 100% side by side. To arrange the tiles better, you can enlarge or reduce them as follows:
- Go to the start screen - the fastest way to get there is with the Windows key.
- Select a tile - right-click on the PC / notebook. A command bar appears at the bottom, on which you will find the "bigger" icon.
- To reduce the size of an enlarged tile again, select it again with a right click: This time, the "smaller" option appears in the same place on the command bar.
Not all tiles in Windows 8 can be enlarged. This includes, for example, the camera tile and links to desktop programs. With these apps, the option "larger" is not even offered in the selection.
