14 DAY TRIAL // After several months with Windows Phone 8.1 and its beautiful home screen with transparency, the Windows Phone 8 live tile design is so awful that it hurts my eyes every time I look at it.
There's no doubt that implementing options to add transparency to live tiles was a terrific idea for Microsoft, so our home screens now look a lot better on all devices.
The problem, however, is that not all apps come with a transparent live tile, so it only takes one such app to ruin your whole home screen design. That's why Transparent Tiles Maker is such a critical app.
As you can easily guess by simply reading its name, this app has a single yet really important role: to bring transparent tiles on your home screen for programs that do not have such an option.
The number of apps supported by Transparent Tiles Maker is overwhelming and includes Skype, WhatsApp, Nokia apps, Waze, Xbox Video, and even phone settings. This means that you can even pin a transparent live tile with the notification center to your home screen and access it with just a tap.
Last but not least, the app also comes with a bunch of customization settings for live tiles, so you can also configure their behavior on the home screen.
Overall, this is clearly a must-have for those who want their home screens to look good, and given the fact that it's completely free of charge, you have no excuse for not giving it a try right away.
