More tiles, worse in design

"This is the right time to implement an optional background image and some blank space between the tiles.
It doesn't make sense on 4 inches, but on 6, hell yeah."

It's all about scale. And good design has no size constraints, only efforts put forth.

Ahhhh, the crux of the matter....space.


So there?s something to possibly think about when creating your Start page design. I would add utility since besides being a palette for design, the phone is also a tool that we'd like to put to its most effective use. Microsoft has touted the individuality and uniqueness of the WP8 in its ad campaigns. But Microsoft has also given us a great gift, albeit possibly unintentionally, that being the ability to design our own space...and to design it in a way that fits and maximizes our usage and tastes. I would add that design can also be a thing of beauty?with a little thought.

I agree with most, but there should be more options to design our own space. There seems to be too much clutter. Well... I'll have to get one of this new devices to have a better idea of how this works in practice.
