Re: WP 8.1 Start Screen Backgrounds Thread (Official)

i have to admit i was really skeptical about this new start screen customization, it just didn't really make sense to me. After a few quick n dirty attempts on photoshop though, i'm newly converted - this approach can indeed look stunningly beautiful. However, it depends highly on the image chosen: I find that the less busy/contrasty the image and the darker/more saturated in color, the better it works to provide good visibility of the live tiles. I'm personally a fan of subtle gradients and i find this is the perfect replacement for solid live tile colors: 1 color is still the predominant accent but a gradient subtly bleeds into other tiles and it looks beautiful. See a bunch of tests i did, with my favorite gradients at the end:

Here's my latest configuration. Went back with the 2 column. It makes the weather tile more readable.

Mine is a bit of a free for all atm on my work phone which is my main phone aka my Lumia 925. I love it tho and it works and I wouldn't change a thing about it. Love my Live Tiles and tiles in general. Most productive OS and the most fun.

I really wanted the McLaren to be real. The 1520 just isn't quite what I want. Oh well, still loving the 920!
