How do we tell apart metro tiles and desktop tiles?

1

Windows 8 has metro apps and desktop app. Both of these have tiles. How do we tell whether a tile opens a metro app or a desktop app?

1Because desktop tiles look like shortcuts and applications are full logos? The 8.1 also makes a difference which one are you using? – Ramhound – 2014-01-29T03:57:11.410

I am using 8.1. – Shaun Luttin – 2014-01-29T04:03:33.687

Maybe... Metro icons must be flat, 100% white, and simple. Desktop icons may be 3D, multicolored, with detailed logos. – Shaun Luttin – 2014-01-29T04:04:26.627

I ask both for clarification and to help other people who might wonder later. – Shaun Luttin – 2014-01-29T04:11:25.213
