Very nice app, can the app load faster when we tap on a tile, it loads a black screen instead of the wiztile loading page :D
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
This feature will be available soon in the app.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
Next update will fix this issue. We are in testing phase right now.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
The next version is going to support themes with parameters. Here's an example on how to make a shortcut to a website:

[Tile]

task=Browser

params=uri=google.com

front.icon=googleLogo.png

front.background.color=#282e33

back.background.color=#282e33

We will be exposing more params later to more tasks, not just browser.

Thank you for sharing!

Is there possible set custom app to create custom tiles and tile theme at this project?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] euska:
when the update will be available?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
Hopefully if it passes certification, it should be available next week. I've updated the first page with screen shots and some info for the next release.

i cannot understand how i can make a theme by myself.. sorry but i'm not so good at it.. someone can help me? which program i have to use?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] henreeg:
I'm sure you get a lot of emails, but I just sent you the one on how you are money... I love xda, I'm test driving WP7, I'm mostly an Android user.

I gotta say, your app is awesome.

Thank you so much!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] kaka_mara:
Thanks :) Great app;)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Diim:
Great app!

I really like your last official theme, but I cannot find the download link.

Could you provide it ?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
Sorry, that I haven't gotten back to some questions in this thread. I will answer all the questions later tonight. I just want to announce that Wiztiles Pro is now available for download in the Marketplace:

http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/f8f66960-acba-40b2-842b-1fbec2664739

Enjoy!

WizTiles Pro?

What's going to happen with the free version?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] jabtano:
I like the app it has much potential, I see it's now gone pro. They have a big write-up on over at WPCentral for the second time in less than a week. Nice job on this app.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] DJRedLine:
From what i heard so far -

Free version - Only 1 saved theme at a time and must input the URL to download themes.

Pro version - unlimited saved themes and can download themes direct from a server and URL input
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
Hi Leapo, FREE version update is coming soon. It's been submitted for certification and should hopefully be in the Marketplace by Friday or Saturday night. Don't worry, we didn't take away features. We added more, and you will still be able to do everything you did as before, even in the FREE version. The reason we made a PRO version is that users were complaining that downloading themes was too cumbersome. We spent a huge amount of development time to add that feature, and we thought it was justifiable to charge people for that functionality and convenience. We want you guys to continue making themes, so if you were to download themes the old way, there is no limitation to the number of themes you can save into the phone.

Also, we are featuring some of the best themes that the community is contributing into the "featured" theme list. I apologize for not letting theme designers know that we are featuring their themes, but if you want us to take down your theme from that list, we will gladly take them down. Please let me know. Thanks!

Also, we want to promote your work. We have added a block to the theme list, that let designers promote their skills. Do as you want in the description, and add your website if it applies:

[Theme]

Name=Metro

Version=2.0

UpdatedOn=2012/01/01

Description=Metro theme

Author=Wiztiles

AuthorUrl=http://www.wiztiles.com
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
Clarification:

FREE or (TRIAL in PRO):

1 saved theme at a time if downloaded the easy way

UNLIMITED saved themes if downloaded the old way (from server)

PAID in PRO:

UNLIMITED saved themes if downloaded the easy way

UNLIMITED saved themes if downloaded the old way (from server)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
Which theme is that? If you are talking about Picto or Panorama Themes from the screenshots, I can't share those. They have copyrighted rights that doesn't allow me to redistribute them. When we can afford those rights, we will share with the community.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
Thanks, we are always happy to see Android users try out WP7, and hopefully we will be able to customize WP7 like Android to some extent.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
Hi, I will do a clear write-up on how to make themes on the Desktop. Also, if you are willing to wait, the app will be able to do it in the near future, and we will try to make it as easy as possible.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
Not sure, if I understand your question, but the app can't launch OTHER apps, so not at this time.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
Thanks for this. I will put on front page.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ARQ-11:
I signed onto the forum to just say how fantastic this app is! I just got a lumia the other day and when I found this app it was a godsend!

Is it okay if I post any themes I make here?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] MRE-net:
Very very nice app. One of the best skin customization apps I've seen so far, probably the best there is.

It's too bad that MS doesn't let you allow to edit the basic hubs. It would be nice to completely remove the stock Hubs and replace them with the self created ones with this app.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
Certification is taking longer than expected. In the meantime, I've uploaded the new versions of themes on the front page. You can get the latest of the following themes: Metro, Museum, and Metro Plus.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
please do! Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
I've submitted a request for Developers to get access to the basic hubs. Please vote to help make Wiztiles a real launcher application. Thanks!

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
For the people that updated, and their pinned tiles are no longer working, unpin from your home screen, then pin again from within Wiztiles. Thanks djntraining45 who posted on the Wiztiles Marketplace review page for this fix.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] microjo:
could you add more tile tasks? like apps installed in the phone..
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] VNavratil:
Great app, I just tried it, but I am little bit disappointed, because it doesnt create simple shortcuts. The application runs first and then it redirects you. I know loading time is very short, but It would be amazing to make shortcuts without need of running 3th party application. But thanks for this
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
Hi microjo, as of now developers have very limited access to apps. Please vote here to make it happen.

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
Hi VNavratil, in order to launch any application from the home screen tiles, developers are required to run a 3rd party application. Don't worry, we will get rid of the loading screen once we figure out a way to create a separate loading screen when launching the main application.

Wiztiles Designer is OUT!

Hi everyone. I'm very excited to announce a little tool we created so anyone can now make themes. It's a little Silverlight app that will run on any Windows or Mac Web Browser that allows you to specify a background for both front and back tiles. The theme will automatically be packaged, and ready for download. All you need to do is post the zip file somewhere to share, like this thread. I will add your creations to the front page for everyone to download. Go nuts!

http://wiztiles.com/designer/

Let me know if you guys have questions. Also feel free to email info@wiztiles.com for any bugs, suggestions, or if you want us to feature your awesome theme!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
Upload themes to a server

Hi guys, I've just posted instructions on the front page on how to upload your themes to a server for testing. We will make this process easier on future updates.

Also, after you've finalized your theme, make sure to share with the community! Email info@wiztiles.com with the zip file, or post on this thread. Looking forward to seeing the cool themes you guys create!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] withwindows:
Awesome work man. I have just sent an email to your other email address. Looking forward to hear from you
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Brannian:
Zip file

I attached a phone wallpaper that I made using the updated version you said you'd add it here on the site for downloading. Please let me know if I did it right and what I'd have to do differently if I were to try again/make another one.

Thanks :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
Thanks Brannian, this looks great! The theme was broken, but I fixed it.

View attachment BrettFavre.zip

Some quick tips:

1. Make sure you name the top folder WITHOUT spaces. It was named "Phone Wallpaper"

2. Make sure you add a preview image. I made one for your theme. If you are using Wiztiles Designer, there's an extra tab at the top labeled "preview". Make sure to add an image there.

3. I will add to front page and Featured list in the app :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Brannian:
Thanks for fixing it. The only problem though is that its not centered so you don't see the symbol or all of Brett Favre... I'll try fixing it later if I can figure out how haha
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
If you are using Wiztiles Designer, you can drag the image around, and use the slider on the right to make it bigger/smaller. I actually thought you made it off-center for "artistic" value, and I kinda liked it that way.

http://wiztiles.com/designer/

Let me know if you have other questions on how to use the Wiztiles Designer tool.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Brannian:
Zip file

Let me know if this works. Having the front image offset looks nice, but the back logo is offset in the one you made too. The back logo should be centered so you can see the Green Bay logo.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Brannian:
previous zip file

It seems that this zip file I just attached "BrettFavre2" also has the same problem with the images being offset. I used the Wiztiles designer and loaded the images I wanted for the front, back, and preview. I then centered the images to where I wanted and saved it. But after saving, it seems like the image uncenters itself I don't really know why. Is this my fault for not saving properly? I don't know necessarily why it's doing this.

Basically I load the images and place them to where I think it looks best, then proceed to save it as instructed, but when I look at the saved zip file the images look way off from where I placed them.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] dogzdredd:
Hello..is it possible to make the tiles have animation instead of just flipping? That be great
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
Hi Brannian, I think the web app has a little bug where things go out of place when you resize your browser. Make sure before you add any image that you have a maximized window, and don't resize your browser. Let me know if that works.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
Hi dogzdredd, developers don't have access to other animations for tiles on the home screen. If we do get access, what kind of animations did you have in mind? Do you want to animate the image, or just have sliding text like the Hub Tiles for groups in People Hub?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Frosty3k:
Bokeh

hello to all and well done for the devs of this great app, its the best customization tool for WP7.5

about the possible animations i think that the more options we have the better, sliding text is cool but also the flipping effect that you see on the people hub looks good. I can only imagine the kind of effect that could result by putting several text animated tiles together :))

I've made a theme today and if you guys like it maybe you can put it on you're site :) that would be awesome :)

View attachment Bokeh.zip

Oo, by the way...the designer tool generates a Theme.txt without any spaces or paragraphs. I fixed mine before I tried the theme, i don't know if it breaks the theme or not.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
Hi Frosty, thanks for the theme. It is beautiful! We will add to list of themes in featured list in phone app. I will also add on front page. We will work on tile animations, but it won't be on the home screen(until we get access). You guys will see on future updates :) As for spaces and paragraphs, it really depends on your text editor. I use Notepad++ and it preserves all the spaces and paragraphs.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Frosty3k:
hey guys, found this article with some concept live cube stile tile :)

Live-Cubes.png

Live_cube

Live-Cubes-2.png

Live_cube_longpress

Secondary-Tiles1.png

Live-Cubes-3.png

I think this cube idea if implemented, will blow the android and iOS community and give a major boost to the WP platform...Im not sure why the live cube didn't make it into the final mango release.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
Hi Frosty, I've seen those concepts and they are quite cool. The thing is, they're just concepts, and there were never any announcements that these would ever make it into the final product. It does give us ideas on what we should be doing with tiles once we have more control over them. As of now, we are focused on popular features that users want (like image cutting within phone app), but we will implement cooler things like these animations in future updates. Thanks for sharing!

BTW, there is a request for this feature on user voice as well. Make sure you vote for it:

hey whats with the promised update and the new themes?

i cant wait :D
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wiztile:
Update to Wiztiles is coming! Please be patient!

With the new APIs, different resolutions, and different tile sizes, we had to basically re-write the application from the ground up. I know we’re taking long, but I don’t want to release an update that will remove all the current features we are enjoying now. Aside from the current features already available, these are being added:

1. Support for higher resolutions

2. Support for all tile sizes

3. Launching of some third-party apps allowing their apps to be launched (Facebook, Groupon, WhatsApp, Nokia Drive, etc.)

4. Launching of more tasks (battery, music, etc.)

5. Folders

6. Custom background behind tiles

7. Uploading your themes to share with others

8. Downloading your themes to other phones you own

9. Applying and cycling through different themes of already pinned tiles at timed intervals

10. Custom lock screen wallpaper

Let me know if you guys have any questions about these upcoming features, or any suggestions. To keep you guys busy until the next update, I am uploading a couple of new themes tonight.

Also, don't forget to vote for Wiztiles in the Next App Star Contest! It's the only way we will get Microsoft to pay attention to us, that we need to be able to launch all applications with live tile notifications!

Thanks, and please vote here! http://nas.newwp.it

Hey guys I was wondering if there was any way anybody could get for me the stock HTC notification tones. You know, the ones for messaging, email, and default notification.

I am running MIUI and I currently don't like their notification tones and I wish I had my stock HTC ones back. I would be super appreciative if someone could get these for me and remind me which ones are which because I don't remember which tones went to which notification.

Please and Thank You

If they do happen to change your data plan without notice just give them a call and have them switch it back. Regardless of what they say, they can switch your data plan back to unlimited. All they have to do is switch it from iPhone plan to Smartphone plan and visa-versa.
