is it possible to change the size of some tiles like the Zune tile? mines currently square but ive seen a lot of rectangle ones............
I think you can make the width twice, and that's it.
how do i do it?
Yeah, but how? When editting the Zune tile, for example, I can only move it or unpin it. There doesn't seem to be an option for it to be the double width as opposed to square.
I suspect, only certain tiles, defined by MS, can be double width. eg, Pictures. BUT, I removed the XBox tile, and then put it back, and now its square and not double width.
I think that only certain tiles can be resized.
I was wondering this, I have seen it in a few reviews/publications where the Zune tile is 2 width not 1. I have no idea how to increase the size though
You can't change any of them. It's not under your control.
Earlier builds had 2-wide Zune tiles, but it's just 1 tile wide now.

Is there any way to change the default clock app? I use the black/blue mode as a desk clock and "night clock" but there are 2 things I'd like to change.
1. Disabling the position change. Every time it changes it's position I automatically look at it.
2. Making better use of the screen width. There is an unused width of like 125 pixel to each side.
So ... I am going to try doing this without the ability to post links, so we will see how it goes.
add https:// to the bellow line, and I think it will work correctly

This is a "link" to a goodle drive folder that contains a psd for laying out wallpaper graphics to work well with the Nexus 7. As a proviso, my current setup is using a combination of the Nova Launcher for good landscape access, and the app Wallpaper Changer for a rotating selection of images on my wallpaper.
Either one of these, MIGHT be slightly adjusting how it automatically crops/resizes to display on the screen, so ... your mileage may vary slightly.
The Use_Example is how my 3 screens appear as I scroll through them, and the LayoutGuide is where that image would fall using the guides that I created for horizontal & vertical alignment, with a separate guide to show where the Dock would be.
I hope this helps folks get creative with their displays, I tend to have a variety of artwork & characters showcasing my various interests, that are all on a uniformly branded backdrop, but thats just me.
Hi,
can somebody please tell me how to add the 3rd row of quick setting toggles in the Oreo update like it was with Nougat?
I've tried Oreo for the third time now but several things simply don't work anymore or got worse in comparison with Nougat.
I could live with a few of those but only having two rows of quick setting toggles is definatily not one of them.
I tried gravitybox (it's missing the option to manage the vibration strength of the virtual buttons and the battery tile now has additional text which takes up all the space so the temperature part isn't visible anymore.)
Furthermore I had to buy a substratum theme to not vomit from the white quick settings panel. With the march security update the installation is now as tedious as with Nougat due to the forced reboot.
The Xposed module HowGiveLolli doesn't work anymore and the centered normal letters instead of all upper case was a real nice feature.
Why are the points in the settings app regrouped so it's harder to find specific settings?
There are simply so many bad design choices in my eyes I can't bring myself to live with Oreo due to not finding substitute functions for the missing ones.
Kind regards
I know you posted this last month so you hopefully figured it out, but either way I thought I'd share the answer since someone else might want to know in the future.
It has to do with the display scaling in Settings\Display\Advanced\Display Size. If set to default or large, you only get two rows of quick settings. If you set to small, the UI shrinks and as a side effect you get three rows of quick settings tiles. You can always increase the font size afterward if it's too small, but reducing the display scaling is the only way to have enough room to display three rows.

Thanks for posting the solution. I simply restored my Nougat backup as I never upgraded my bootloader for that matter. I don't think I'll be using Oreo until I get a new phone which possibly can't be a Moto Z3 because I'm not really convinced they will release anything more than the Z3 play.

Hi and thanks for this trick : as a matter of fact I was always on "small" in Nougat and it worked nice with 3 rows, but with Oreo I needed to switch to "smaller" to switch from 2 to 3 rows :silly:
So, I disabled the notch, mostly because it drove me nuts when I was using chrome remote desktop. (In portrait mode it is super janky how it handles it). It also kind of bothers me how much space is up there for a single row of icons. Is there a ROM or mod out there that will do either/both of the following:
A. Makes the area to the left/right of the notch notifications only, all apps ignore it and render on the normal screen area.
B. Makes the notch a double row of icons so the space is utilized... better.
The V20 comes to mind for me. I liked having a different display for notifications.
Check out Tulsa Driver Mods in the Themes & Apps sections. I believe that is exactly what you are looking for.
Is there any way to force apps in the notch area and not have black bar there I tried the full screen mode in settings and even some immersive mode apps and nothing helped.
Also is there a way to make status bar toggles and notifications smaller? I have set smallest display mode but that only affects menus
Thanks
Here's what I did on my P30 Pro to make notifications smaller. It works systemwide too.
Open Developer Options, scroll down to DRAWING section, at the bottom is a setting for Smallest width. Increase whatever the number is by an amount of, say, 10dp at a time until you get your desired size and appearance.
After experimenting with values I found that merely increasing from stock value of 423dp to 430dp made a big (smaller) difference.
I also have the text size set @ normal and display size set @ small.

No problem, I'm glad that's helped with part of your solution.
I much prefer smaller font and icons, to me it makes the UI look more polished.
