Hi Greg Thanks for the response. Yes I was a developer in a former life :) Many years since actually coded anything serious, but I still tinker around from time to time... I think its a real shame Microsoft are dropping the live and adaptive tiles in Windows 11, because they provide a very nice home screen on a tablet - or on a touchscreen - news updates, weather, etc. but yes I take your point. Thanks for taking a look though.
