Re: WP 8.1 Start Screen Backgrounds Thread (Official)

How do you apply these pictures? Do you already have the dev preview?

Hey, nice wallpapers. Just one question: what app do you use for the wallpapers to use on the tiles?

It's Photoshop or some other Desktop Photo edition program.

So, I am contributing an idea to unlock access to apps like Bing backgrounds or other background apps.

Do you mean like the current "Lockscreen changing" Apps? i would love that, but if one app chooses an annoying Tileground (xD), it could become a problem: hard to read, to cluttered, whatever. i Would love it, i repeat tho.


i made another mockup, this time showing the animation. I'm in love, and also, i can now say that i know how to use photoshop's timeline <3



PS: Adventure Time Soundboard App is awesome, and gorgeous looking: http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=598c14e2-7e50-4ca5-abe9-ed5b364f99f2

Well I guess that for all of you who really wanted the high-contrast (black/white) theme, this is your day. Just choose a black wallpaper, then suddenly all of your tiles will be black with a white icon

yeah that's probably why they didn't bother to add a bunch more themes, because now you can get every colour you want anyway

you took it even further than me. I thought only black and white, but completely forgot that it applies to all colors! Hahah, teamwork!

Question about Parallax Will 2 gig of ram be the requirement in order for it to function smoothly? ALA the Nokia Icon?.

go to your pictures, and just scroll sideways...is it slowing down?
Parallax isn't exactly a new thing in WP. They've always had it in some areas, and it scrolls sideways.

I have added more pictures on my 1Drive. And I am kindly wondering, if my thread will be pinned as the official Start Screen thread for Windows 8.1? :kiss:
