Share your W10M Start Screens and Backgrounds!

How do you get the background images to stay sharp? I have 1080p images that I try to set as my background on my 930 but they turn out blurry every time.
 
3rd time posting here. Next time, from the next build :P
My guinea pig 630 likes this build way better than the previous one!

[edited for an error about proportions!]

Don't put them in cut to your native resolution. The OS is reintroducing parallax scrolling, which means your wallpapers need to fill a gutter partway off the bottom of the screen into which the view can move. If the phone is given a 1080p wallpaper, it will stretch it to a large size to fill all this space, making a blurry image. The screen will also use the rightwards space to scroll a little to the right when entering the app list menu.

So, your wallpaper must be 1297 (width) x 2300 (height).

Amazing, how did you do it?

I just used background full image. Then chose transparency at 0. Then arranged them in circular fashion. To keep them apart I put in an empty tile. You can do that with one of the apps that doesn't have a small tile icon or get an app that can insert them for you. There's lots of apps out there. Even #tileart allowed it but it doesn't seem to work with windows 10.
 
I don't like how when you go to browse, it takes you to a stripped down photos app, why can't I use file manager to pick the images?
