re: WPC 50K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Most of us on here are WP fans to some extent. On the WP8.1 forum (what a crazy idea at this stage) there's a thread with people begging for a background image option on the Start screen and apps list area. Now, I can care less if people want to do that and waste their battery power so as long as I can turn the option off I'm happy. What are your thoughts? I think it looks silly but that's my opinion.
The 8.1 forum makes sense if you think about it. There seems to be a new leak everyday. This way we can point people to existing threads instead of having multiple ones all over the place. And it creates a place to round up and move appropriate threads to aid in housekeeping. Maybe a little early, but would be needed sooner than later.
I don't see where there enough blank real estate on the tiles screen for a background image to serve much purpose. But if some people like having it back there, why not? It seems like it would be a bit busy having it behind the apps screen with all the apps, but again to each their own. I agree that it needs to be an option that can be turned on or off.
