He's just ******* with you guys, sorry. It's not there.

Hahahaha... Alright. Very disappointed to hear that btw. Background designs will seriously look cool on Windows Phone. If not WP8.1, then maybe WP9 will give us tattoos.

There's much more to 8.1 than is in the SDK. There are still a handful of surprises left for Build and I don't think you'll be disappointed at all. The thing about Tom's screenshots is don't take them literally :wink:

lol, oh I do. And I'm sure Tom does too, though he was being cheeky with that post. Regardless, some things should remain a surprise. The 8.1 team has worked hard, let them have their moment

Haha, it's so hard not to love you. You're the best!

mmmm maybe there will be background color selection...

I would love to see the ability to group tiles with a title header and have some 'white space' between where a tattoo background would work nicely.

Everyday, I am falling more deeply in love with my windows phone. Gotta love these things

 

[taymur]

Btw, he says there is still more features, like a lot more. How can all of this fit in an update lol. I think my phone will explode after the update.

 

[trandz]

This is def a feature. Rubino is just trying to get us to not think so.

I wish it was the case but I don't think Dan would say it's not there when indeed it's there. I hope they add it before the official release but as of now, I believe Dan when he says it isn't there. You can vote for it though on uservoice

 

[Abhinav Singh Chouhan]

are you serious daniel

 

[Jas00555]

Guys, it's not there. I wouldn't image Dan would actually say something (in 10 minutes, too, very quick on that one) if he already knew about it. I would imagine that he just wouldn't say anything at all.

Mmmmm. Synced Windows 8 backgrounds

Although I must admit, this would be so awesome!

Anybody hoping for a third row of tiles, similar to the 1080p displays?

Or even live tiles that refresh instantly instead of every 30 minutes? (for developers)

I am but not getting hopes up.

On a L820 I wish I had the option to choose and not let it be decided for me.

Plus was hoping live tiles refresh interval would also be a user option but its just hope.

Add to that I want Datasense independant of my carrier BS

 

[darkest.white]

Well we can always hope! They have more in store for us! Whatever it will be, it will be awesome
