ImmersiveTaille’s features are accessible through the three tabs at the top-right: Basic, Advanced and Settings. To change the application language – which is set to French by default – simply click the flag button at the bottom-left corner of the window. Furthermore, it’s a multilingual application, with support for English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Dutch and German. ImmersiveTaiile sports a rather simple UI, and displays some fancy animations upon user interaction with the app. For instance, it enables you to specify a custom Start Screen resolution, or display it along with the Taskbar when in Full screen.

Its works in pretty much similar fashion to our previously covered Start Screen Modifier from WinAero.

This portable application is basically designed to change the size of the Start Screen, and move it to to user-defined positions on the screen i.e.

One such example is ImmersiveTaille that lets you customize the Start Screen in a few different ways. Why won't my page cover the full area allocated to it? This used to work correctly when I created my Windows 8 app page derived from BasicLayoutAwarePage, but I am unable to get this to work correctly in Windows 8.1.Windows 8 has entered its fifth triumphant month since general availability, and a lot of developers have already built an umpteen number of Start Screen tools to let you customize this latest Windows feature to your heart’s content. I tried manually setting the Page size to the NewSize width in the Windows SizeChanged event handler in, but that did not work. However, when I dock it next to another Windows 8.1 app, the 'white background', appears in the center covering about 60% of the screen size allocated to it. I see the 'white background' covers the full screen when my app is running by itself. My question is when I try to re-size my app to different window sizes by docking it next to another Windows 8.1 app, the BlankPage doesn't re-size correctly. I added a basic empty page to my project, see XAML below. I am developing a Windows 8.1 Store app using Visual Studio 2012.
