Are you satisfied with the present Limited Accent Theme colors?

[coltopi003]

Not satisfied yet..
more colors please Microsoft...
For now i use teal, cyan and red..

 

[Kram Sacul]

Nokia blue and a few other new color accents would be nice as well as choosing lighter or darker shades of each accent. A color picker or slider is too crude for WP.

It's something that people want since the release of WP7.

Of course it wouldn't be hard to implement that, it might be not too easy to implement it in an intuitive way. But regardless it's a design decision to not have it, similar to the missing battery percentage for example.

Personally, yes, I think I'd like to have custom colors.

I don't care about color I just want black and no not that high contrast black trick. I want red on black.

 

[bionicgt]

Anything that contains "limited" isn't making anyone happy! So no. I want to choose the color I want hahaha

No and need a color spectrum for what I want.

No not satisfied. They should add background colors (that mockup looked sick). Or even just shades of gray- similar to the background in the music hub. I personally don't have too much of a problem, but a lot of people do want more customization. It seems naive of MS to not offer more options for people. Having palettes would be cool too. Maybe two accent colors and a background bundled together? Or you could customize them. If it's not your thing, just stick with the standard ones we had for WP8. But 8.1 should definitely have more customization.

Somebody has to say it: Yes, yes I am satisfied with the limited choice of accent colors.

 

[Joel S79]

Would like more colors.

It's not as simple as turning on a slider. MS highly values user experience, and if someone accidentally chooses a color they can't see, guess who they're going to take their ***** rage out on?

I'd like to see more choices, or maybe a slider and some intelligence to prevent stupid people from screwing up their phones.

So what's stopping someone from choosing a color they can't see to.just simply sliding the slider back to the left or right to a color they can?

I'm fine with whatever direction MS is taking with WP. The idea is that only certain colors work well with the UI and if someone picks a color of their own it might not reflect properly in the UI. MS internally tests different colors and if they fit with the UI they are then added as we've seen with each major update.

 

[arifdanials]

I am happy with the colour indigo but I would love more options and choices

I wish they had more subdued colors. The current ones are ok, but to much contrast or something. It keeps me stuck on either olive or steel. Others are to bright. Yellow is like looking into the sun.

Really? So in what universe did poo brown fit with the UI ? And taupe while we're at it.

Some of the colors work well and some don't but the problem is just that there aren't enough to satisfy customization inclinations for a lot of users. Maybe we aren't the majority though.

ANyways, on the whole I enjoy my phone so much I don't think about the tiles too often. Cyan and Emerald look the best to me, but Teal and Olive are kind of cool in their own way. They're totally nostalgic of some of the win95 color themes.

Agreed. On my 820, even with the saturation turned right down, i find a lot of the colour choices unusable.

The white tile icons get a little lost in that yellow.

As I wrote in another thread, now that you can change background (behind the tiles). Just choose a solid whatever-color background, and this will also change the tile colors. So for those of you who want high contrast (blackwhite), just go for a black wallpaper

 

[X0LARIUM]

One good thing about the "tile\wallpapers" is you can now add any color as the color...

Hell No!
Everybody needs more colors, I guess! :wink:

 

[jfreiman]

*If* you can change the background of the Tiles, one could just set a plain colour background of their choosing. Although that's a clumsy way to go about it.

What i really want is the dual-colour themes of Windows 8, or the ability to change the Tiles and Background to replicate that look, as demonstrated in my unfinished Amateurish mockups.

This is precisely correct. Just save an image with your favorite/proffered color to your phone and set it as the wallpaper.

It doesn't take a genius to see that Microsoft has already give everyone with Windows Phone 8.1 the tools to do what all of you are "so desperate for."
