Designers and app makers are using the basic design of Windows 11 to explore further customization options, and one of the recently released apps is the 'Live Tiles Anywhere' app. Let's take a look at what it has to offer and how you can create live tiles (like those on Windows 10) and widgets with 'Live Tiles Anywhere' on Windows 11.

Most of us remember Live Tiles as that Windows 10 Start Menu feature that never really took off. It’s understandable that Microsoft didn’t implement it in Windows 11, then. But the idea behind Live Tiles wasn’t completely out of hand.
