As we reported earlier, the leaks for Windows Phone 8.1 are coming in at a steady pace now. Following up on this morning?s video that showed off the new OS is one focusing on the new Start screen options.
Not much has happened with the Start screen since Windows Phone 8 was announced, but with 8.1 users will have at least two new features to help customize and personalize their phones: Start background and Show more Tiles.
As revealed in this admittedly poorly shot video, users can choose from a pre-selection of background images for their Start screens. Alternatively, users can select photos from their Facebook, OneDrive, or camera roll as well. Perhaps the neat thing is the parallax movement when the user scrolls, giving the Tiles a true ?windows? feel to them, much like looking outside a window pane.
