## browserconfig.xml

The `browserconfig.xml` file is used to customize the tile displayed when users
pin your site to the Windows 8 start screen. In there you can define costum
tile colors, custom images or even [live tiles](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/dn455106.aspx#CreatingLiveTiles).

By default, the file points to 2 placeholder tile images:

* `tile.png` (558x558px): used for `Small`, `Medium` and `Large` tiles.
This image resizes automatically when necessary.
* `tile-wide.png` (558x270px): user for `Wide` tiles.

Notice that IE11 uses the same images when adding a site to the `favorites`.

For more in-depth information about the `browserconfig.xml` file, please
see [MSDN](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/dn320426%28v=vs.85%29.aspx).
