The site that is linked (http://www.anti-tgtsoft.com) appears to be gone. Is there anywhere else that I can get the “Internal Display” tile?

Would it be possible for you to get your hands on the sample in question, esp. the MobilityCenter.lib and the IDL file. Trying to guess definitions from the PDF is hard, specifically for the dynamic tile sample. Have managed to load a dynamic tile and get the COM server loaded – but it makes the first call GetTileServer and then boom – falls back to static tile!

I think it is a bad definition issue. I am assuming that since you have access to the PDF, you may have access to the IDL too.

It will be nice to add an application launch function similar to turn-on wifi tile. I have a Verizon Broadband connectivity application that clearly belongs in the “Mobility” category, but can not be access from the Windows mobility center.

Wow, tht’s really useful. I can’t tell you how happy I am to be able to turn off my screen properly; Acer has a screen backlight toggle but this one actually shuts off the monitor, and with the standard “Vista fade”. Shame there aren’t too many more of these tiles over the internet; I’d love one for getting to the Acer HD Audio manager instead of having to go through the control panel, or even better to be able to access other equilisations than the four -_- Acer gives you in the eAudio Management TrayApp. Great work here peeps.

Interesting, I had to replace my motherboard, (With the same model, just a tad bit newer) and now I have the tiles I was missing in my earlier post. Just thought I’d update that. Seems if the motherboard doesn’t support it, you don’t get the tiles.

Great tile, I use it on UMPC when I just want to listen to some music, thanks for that!!!

Anyone knows by any chance why would I be missing the Display Brightness standard tile on my ASUS R2H UMPC?

Thanks,
Dan

yes, at last an easy to use app to turn off my dell laptop screen, so now i can listen to podcasts and internet radio in bed without my entire room being illuminated by the lcd.

after using a mac laptop for many years that is extremely easy to turn off the display, you just keep turning down the brightness with keyboard button and screen turns off, i was frustrated with my new dell.

at last i found an easy way to do this without having to install a full blown application. why are microsoft so crap at developing functions users actually want!
