Pin More

If you like Pin More check out Snowy Dune Launcher.

Pin custom tiles for Steam, Origin and Uplay games, documents, document folders and websites to your Start screen! Create static tiles with any image you want as logo or use up to 5 images to create a live tile that cycles between them. You can also create live tiles for your Steam games that display your achievements or for your favorite websites displaying their latest news (only for websites that have some metadata).

Choose the background color you want to use by either picking one of the default colors, using our color picker, entering the RGB values of the color or even picking a color directly from any of the tile images.

Export the tiles you've pinned so you can share them with your friends, import them on other devices or just keep them as backup so you don't have to create them again if you need to reinstall Windows.
