The primitive gallery
Every shape the live-tile engine can draw, running on its own. The scene gallery shows what you can borrow whole; this is the vocabulary those scenes are written in — reach for it when you want something the catalog does not already have.
Nothing below was drawn for this page. Each tile is a real element lifted out of the first shipped scene that uses it, wearing that scene’s own palette, so the list is always exactly as current as the release you are on and a new shape appears here the day it lands. Check this page before you hand-build anything — a shape you cannot find gets rebuilt out of polygons, which is slower to write, heavier to render, and leaves one-off geometry nobody else inherits.
This is a template, designed for you to alter and make your own.
This page shows you how to find the shape you need and copy the element straight into your own spec. Copy it to start a page of your own, change anything, or delete the whole app/(marketing)/recipes folder — nothing else in the template depends on it. Example pages are not indexed by search engines.
57 shapes. Copy any element and drop it into a layers[].elements array — see docs/prompts/make-a-live-tile.md for the rules that keep a tile subordinate to your copy.
