Well, alot has changed since I last put up the last screenshot and given the release of wp 8.1 dev preview - I couldn't wait for the public release lol. Previously I had 42 apps pinned all apps i use on day to day basis (38 small and 4 medium), after a few hours use with that layout.. It felt cramped and I wasn't really doing myself any favours with static tiles (having a dynamic start screen is more eye catching for potential windows phone converts
)
So I decided to evaluate my app usage and recent app usage since the dev preview release. so without further ado this is my current start screen.
This will evolve over time (hopefully everyone adds the ability to have the start screen background to show behind the tiles as opposed to having solid colours).
More info:
The screenshot was embedded in a nifty app called
device shot .
Also for those who are wondering the calendar app is
simple calendar with the "wayne" wide tile bought via in-app purchase.
The original background is also attached / below for those who want it
