Similarly, if you turn on the live tile for an app that’s using the Medium tile size, you might see only limited information in the tile (or none at all if the tile is using the Small size). However, if you’ve turned off the live tile for an app (see “Turning Off a Live Tile,” later in this chapter), these bigger tile sizes now seem like a waste of menu real estate, so you might prefer to use the smaller size. The Wide and Large sizes are useful for tiles that are live because the tile has more room to display information. Medium is the most common (see, for example, the default Music and Video tiles), and the other sizes are based on the Medium dimensions: Small is one quarter the size of Medium Wide is the equivalent of two Medium tiles side-by-side and Large is the equivalent of four Medium tiles arranged in a square.

The Start menu, with its live tiles and easy access (just press the Windows Logo key), is meant to be a kind of automatically and frequently updated bulletin board that tells you what’s going on in your life: your latest messages, your upcoming appointments, the music you’re listening to, the weather, the latest news and financial data, and so on.
