That's a strawman. No one said: "don't put anything in a rectangle that isn't a button".

- jiggy2011 14y agoif all of the buttons are coloured rectangles, how do you differentiate a non button rectangle?
- pilgrim689 14y agoThat depends on what you want to show, of course. What kind of example do you have in mind? What kind of information are you showing? Here are some examples of non-button rectangles: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/weather-clock/ece99882-96c2-46de-b687-2ade1f99aa34 http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/weather-clock/ec... http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/weather/171f3a75-b11e-4cfe-9ff7-699eb4c32d32 http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/weather/171f3a75... The differetiators here seems to be that 1) the rectangle is not a square 2) the rectangle has rounded corners edit: and I guess 3) the rectangle is not "flat", it has a gradient, 4) it's not colored, it's transparent grey, unlike any clickable rectangle in the system. .... (basically, it's fairly easy to differentiate between a clickable square tile and a pure informational rectangle)
