Why not use tiles with monochrome icons?
1 comments

Tiles look great if the content is great, but just like with file previews (on Win7 or OSX), sometimes that's info that I don't need.

For example, using a desktop analogy, I'd rather not see the layout of my first page of code. I would like to know the filetype (icon is great for this often), and some other metadata so I can compare it with similar files.
