change it to small. Small tile is static, and it only displays the name and logo of the application. The medium-sized tile is live and when
you open the Start menu, five icons are displayed in random order on the tile, before it stops. The following are the icons that are
displayed:
• Alienware Mobile Connect
• Take & make calls
• Get phone notifications
• Transfer files
• Send & receive messages
A number at the lower-left corner of the tile indicates pending number of notifications, and a green dot indicates an ongoing call.
These indications are also displayed on the systray icon of the Alienware Mobile Connect application.
