1. A computer readable memory device having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform a method comprising:
- generating at least one tile for display, the at least one tile being configured to represent a system setting and a status of the system setting, and the at least one tile including one or more user-selectable elements and a visual indicator, the one or more user-selectable elements capable of receiving selection to affect a state of an aspect of the system setting and the visual indicator capable of indicating the state of the aspect of the system setting as affected via manipulation of the one or more user-selectable elements; and
causing the at least one tile to be displayed, the at least one tile being presentable in different user interfaces with the one or more user-selectable elements or the visual indicator being displayable differently between two or more of the different user interfaces based on a user preference for the one or more user-selectable elements or the visual indicator.

Abstract
Aggregation of computing device settings is disclosed. In embodiments, at least one tile is generated for display. The tile represents a system setting and a status of the system setting. The tile also includes one or more user-selectable elements that are selectable to adjust an aspect of the system setting. In addition, the tile is displayed and is presentable in different user interfaces with one or more aspects of the tile differing between two or more of the different user interfaces.

11. A computing device comprising:
-
a memory; and a processor configured to utilize instructions in the memory to cause the computing device to; generate a menu for display on a display device, the menu comprising a plurality of tiles and at least one tile being configured to represent an application, a status of the application, and include a user-selectable display element including a visual indicator, the user-selectable display element capable of receiving selection to affect a state of an aspect of the application and the visual indicator capable of indicating the state of the aspect of the application as affected via manipulation of the user-selectable element; and cause the menu to be displayed via a user interface to enable user-interaction with the plurality of tiles, the at least one tile being configured to be presentable to different users of the computing device with the user-selectable element or the visual indicator differing among respective user interfaces presented to two or more of the different users based on a user preference for the user-selectable element or the visual indicator. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method comprising:
-
generating a menu for display at a computing device, the menu comprising at least one tile configured to; represent an application; include a user-selectable display element including a visual indicator, the user-selectable element capable of receiving selection to affect a state of a user-adjustable aspect of the application and the visual indicator capable of indicating the state of the aspect of the system setting as affected via manipulation of the user-selectable element; and causing the at least one tile to remain in the menu according to a user preference, the at least one tile being presentable in different user interfaces with the user-selectable element or the visual indicator being displayable differently between two or more of the different user interfaces based on a user preference for user-selectable element or the visual indicator. - View Dependent Claims (20)
