Two things I noticed that are different from WP8

• The 'Settings' button
• Look at the background of the start screen! Does this mean that custom colors/images will be allowed in WP8.1?

Isn't there too little space for the song title? I hope they find some way to fix it in the real thing.



Keep your ideas coming!

This is new. I found it in Twitter.

Now look at this....
I don't think we have those rounded #, A, B, C, D.... buttons in WP8. This looks like a small new UI change in 8.1.
The new styles sure look better and refreshed!
This is from the MWC 2014 Facebook Messenger announcement. So the image is no doubt official and this change is confirmed.

And, what is this, a T9 keyboard and an interesting icon down in the middle, which looks like a folder

Is tiles grouping actually in WP8.1?? I don't recall hearing anything about this.
And ive never seen the screenshot with the pink background and grey/purplish tiles (its always been black or white) So if ambient background colors are in (as well as photos) then heck yes!

The facebook messenger circles thing..i think has to do more with the fact that facebook uses their 'faces' system with the round circles...
