You can switch between a blank page or thumbnails in tiled mode for the New Tab page.
In the next versions, this button has been improved, see http://i.imgur.com/b8K1L0z.jpg

Ah. Seems strange to leave this functionality unexplained but if it's been fixed in future versions I'll just mark this as resolved.
