After seeing the video, I'm all for the picture mapped tiles... I may need to write an app that converts a picture to shades one color and crops to the right dims though
When the tiles will flip , he would get a glimpse it's a windows phone , those square can be seen easily
True new backgrounds will disappoint lot of people including my mom , she would stick with old crimson color with black theme . But hey we are getting something different
TBH, it is still very recognizable. Regardless of the kind of background image I have, people know right away that it is a WP. The tiles are still very vibrant and easy to distinguish. Everyone that ha seen it has thought it was very cool. I have run into a couple people that did not like it and thought that since it was an option, it's okay either way.
we want customization option.. other users would appreciate the new BG addition on "THEME hub" at the same time some would not care at all! they would stick with the same option they had been using since the first time they created their startscreen..
Users will get the choice.

how do you have a choice of what will I use as a background?
I'd like transparent tiles on Windows 8.1 desktop.

I like to see my wallpaper beneath the tiles here.

They won't get W8 style backgrounds, that's not a choice, that's limitation
That would be awfull, you know that visibility of your information on certain tile would depend on background? It would criple usability of start menuI'd like transparent tiles on Windows 8.1 desktop.

You probably notice most of my tiles are small anyway. I really don't use the tiles for information other than for calendar and weather apps. I'm usually in desktop anyway so I don't see much of the start menu.That would be awfull, you know that visibility of your information on certain tile would depend on background?

I don't care what my phone looks like from two meters away, I care how it looks when I'm holding it.

of course you don't, that's why this thread isn't about personal experiences..... Its about brand identity.
