FR: Server - Dashboard Support Win 8.1 Live Tile

[SilentAssassin 96]

I have the dashboard pinned to my start screen and thought it would be nice if it supported a live tile. Not sure exactly what information would be best displayed on the tile flipside but just supporting a tile image for each size would be a nice start.

There was a leaked video from MS Research a few days ago that showed work they are doing to expand how live tiles work.  What it showed was allowing for more kinds of info to be displayed.  The desktop tile, for instance, was showing icons for the most recent files that had been opened.  The email tile was showing small previews of the latest mail, etc.

 

So beyond the basics around now, I could see a live tile for MB showing latest additions to the server media wise, or maybe media that we had played but not finished watching.  Or maybe it would show the details about a new update. 

 

There is some room to use it in a meaningful way.
