Start screen disappears if no apps are pinned to it..

[Rajesh Rai]

Hi,
On PC if no tiles are pinned to start screen then also it is there. But on phone it disappears. Please give us a way to have start screen with background image option:crying. Also background image is visible only in the area occupied by pinned tiles.:crying::crying:

This is how it works.. The background image is for the tiles not the background of the tiles..

Life's full with utter utter disappointments. It's key to not really focus on those who don't matter in the first place.

why would you want an empty startscreen with just a background?????? you have the lockscreen for that!! #MESS

You probably have never used WP8 which does not even allow background images for tiles...

Can't see why you would want to do this, but try using an app to pin only blank, transparent tiles to your start screen. You'll be able to see the background photo without any apps pinned to your start screen.

Guys, I am well aware of it. Just curious if Microsoft can provide a way to have start screen always visible irrespective of any tiles are pinned to it or not.

Crazy Crazy request !! The start screen is to provide easy access to apps... now whats the point of a blank screen??

Better you print out the image you so desire and stick it tp your cell phone screen. Lol

No they wont. That would spoil their point of the Start Screen. Enough funny comments now right?
