Chnage the colour of tile for a 'shortcut' pinned to start

0

I've created a few tiles for shutdown, restart and sleep for Windows 8.1 tile area.

I know you can add an icon, but I'm wondering if you can change the background colour of the tiles? Thanks.

It doesn't appear that this is currently possible (though I only searched for ~5 minutes). The most useful thing I was able to find was a forum post here, which seemed to offer the ability to edit tile group colors, if you're willing to edit a system dll file (read: if you're feeling brave/ready to break things). However, it doesn't seem to offer any solution for individual tile colors.

Poor effort on the part of MS really. Hopefully it'll be addressed in Windows 8.2!! – David Gard – 2014-02-09T21:48:14.910

Yeah, it's still pretty new, so presumably they haven't had the change to implement some of these more "minor" features. – shortstuffsushi – 2014-02-09T21:54:58.623
