How did you setup your Lumia Icon start screen?

[Zippier]

Between custom tile colors and sizes I think we as Windows Phone users have the best start screen options out there. I've seen a lot of great ideas on threads for other devices and think the Icon should have one too.

Post your pics and if you used a unique app or technique to get that custom look please share what you used and how you did it.

I find that it takes me a few days to "nail down" what I want but I'll start this thread with my first draft. Lately, I've enjoyed the high contrast setting and try to get a nice equilibrium between form and function.

This is how I set up my cousin's Start Screen. It will surely change when he gets it and starts customizing it, but for now I just wanted to emphasize the best of Windows Phone, i.e. weather live tile, pinning people, different tile sizes, Halo on Windows Phone, Xbox Music (also got him a 1-year pass).

Took me a while to fill the entire space but I think I got it to where I like it. Never use more than what can fit on my screen.

Is that the built-in phone application? When I have my phone button as a medium square, it says "Verizon Wireless" rather than "Phone". I'd prefer it to say "Phone" as I think the phone already has enough Verizon branding on it.

Here's my setup. I jammed as much stuff as humanly possible so I don't need to scroll, lol! I only have 3 or 4 large tiles. It's just a preference.

That looks like Rap Dialer.

Can we get a moderator to sticky this? I'd love to see more Icon start screens.

Mine... so far. Having to get used to all the extra space!

Nothing too fancy, but I do enjoy a more minimalistic look.

It's called Simple Calendar. I think you have to pay for that particular theme. I happened to get lucky on a day they had them unlocked for free.

Mine will be similar to this. It just feels... ordered.

How'd you get the tiles to turn black? That's awesome!
