Good article but would like some pointers on how to customize.
ReplyDeletePlease let me know what you are trying to customize.
DeleteI'm trying to change the size of the tiles. I want them to be bigger.
DeleteGreat stuff, really helpful. The only thing that is missing is how to edit the list later. I.e. In the Ribbon, select: List-> Change Current View: All Promoted Links
ReplyDeleteThen you can edit from there.
How do we change the rollover color? Is it an image or CSS? Can we adjust the height of it or shape?
