Hello All,

 

Quick question.  I'm using Windows 10 and the start menu in full screen mode (see picture).  I like to make tiles that list all my games, but find it odd that the default setup leave huge gaps between the columns.  I've highlighted these in red.  Is there a way to close these up so I can get more tiles on the screen.  Left click/drag doesn't seem to do it and I cant see another obvious way.

 

Cheers   DK.

The gaps are that big BECAUSE they're 6 tiles wide.  You're only using 4 of the 6 available tiles.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

Oh I see, So if I were to make another column "Games 4"  then they would all move over slightly to make space?  The existing games tiles are 4 units wide though, so if each column can only be 6 nits wide, I will not be able to fit another column of games in?

Why do you need 3 games columns? Just move all the game tiles under 1 game column and spread them out as you please.

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

You're right I don't need three, one single column would be ideal.  However I cant seem to spread the tiles out in one column to fill the whole page.  I can drag other tiles to sit them side by side (see image).  In this case I tried to put Phantom Pain and Fallout 4 next to Grim Fandango and they just auto jump underneath.  feel like I'm missing something obvious.  Is there a way to set the width of a particular column?
