My stocks, news, or weather reports are not loading. Why?	Many of our Tiles that are fetching data from other web services (news, stocks, etc). These services limit the amount of data users can access over a period of time. These services use a string called an API KEY to identify unique users. Our Tiles come with a default API KEY that is shared by all users. Sticking with the default key means sometimes the data limits are going to prevent your Tile from accessing data. These Tiles have a parameter for your own API KEY as well as links on how to request these free keys. Just follow the directions and copy/paste your personal key into the Tile. That will make sure you can always access the data you need.
How do I transfer screens between different accounts?	From your Dashboard, the "File" menu has the "export" and "import" functions. First copy the Screen to transfer to your Dashboard, then use the "export" function to create an XML file of that Screen. You can then use the "import" function on the new acccount to import that XML file to your Dashboard, and then save as a new Screen.
I accidentally pushed a tile off the edge of the screen. What do I do?	You can temporarily make your grid larger (menu bar). Once you move your tile back, set the grid to your preferred setting. Tiles will not snap outside of the maximum grids.
Can I overlap tiles?	Yes, you can. The "newer" tile will be the one on top / in front (one created last).
You don't have a Tile for the service I want. How can I add it?	Most external web apps and data services can be added to SplashTiles using our "External" tile. Just select that tile and put in the URL for the web site / service you need. If that service has an embedded "iframe" option, those URLs work best. You can also use our feature request support ticket system to request specific new Tiles or changes.

The script will continue to run until one of these events occurs. 1. The script reaches the end and is not set to loop. 2. You force close the SplashTiles app (you can use other apps while it runs in the background without cancelling the script). 3. You manually select a different SplashTiles screen or send a different remote command. 4. You power cycle or reboot the device (screen blanking is ok). 5. You enable the lock screen on the device.
