re: WP8.1 Start Screen & Backgrounds

I've seen a lot of Start Screens with transparent Facebook, MixRadio etc.. how do you get these as they're not transparent for me :(

Sorry I'm new to WP :-D

re: WP8.1 Start Screen & Backgrounds

I've gone for a discreet orange abstract background image to go with my orange Lumia 930. I find it adds a bit of interest to the tiles over a solid colour, but doesn't steal focus like a full photo.

That's a wallpaper from apple...at least i think it is.
Just google or bing for raindrops or something.

Want nice effects?
Use Paint.net to make the image more or less transparant and use it as a overlay for a other image.

I actually really enjoy the way the new live lock screens give just that much more of a personal touch.

What do you use to add device frame around screenshots? PhotoShop?

Paint.net but same basic concept. Found a super hi-res stock Lumia 920 reference picture online and just layer my screenshots on top. Pretty simple but I like the effect it gives off :)
