Tom Warren just dropped a hint that tattoos/background designs are coming to Windows Phone 8.1!

[Localhorst86]

look more closely in the screenshot ; look at the time and battery icon , its completely photoshoped

If I am honest, I don't see it. Could be jpeg artifacting. But then again, its Tom warren we are talking about, I wouldn't trust that guy blindly.

 

[Jaskys]

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

There were rumours that he had a hold of WP8.1 device with action center, i wouldn't be suprised if he tested a build with backgrounds aswell

He's a pretty "big man" in leaks/news section

 

[LMZR]

If this is true, this will be very good!

Then again, if they add the ability to use a wallpaper for the homescreen (which would be great) they would need to change the unlocking animation.
I think pulling the tiles into view would look awsome !

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

Of course Daniel is not allowed to say that it's coming so he's trying to cover it up.

How I wish there's a black accent color to match the white theme. Or white accent color to match the black theme. NO I don't want the high contrast option.

Sorry, but it is. Guess you got an old build of 8.1 or something

Oh Tom knew. He knew for awhile

This is what I love about Windows Phone updates. The New Microsoft is so good at teasing, they might as well ask charge us for the tease. They hand out a certain NDAs, they know things leak, they sit in their offices smiling and thinking "We've only got your started".

But then someone comes along in that 1 month's time and ruins it like they did with Windows Phone 8 - and media bashes their lack luster launch event. Please don't steal their thunder this time, please!

^ Oh pahleez. The more leaks the better. We've waited long enough already. And we DONT know what MS has in store for Build. Last time they showed technical mumbo jumbo for developers. We didn't get to see Windows Phone 8 consumer features till later that year.

 

[busyman96]

Now let's all argue in another thread about the existence of the large tile.

You wouldn't say this if you've read all the media coverage after the launch event of WP7, WP7.5 and WP8.

 

[Kaushik Dash]

Microsoft is definitely listening!

 

[Daniel Rubino]

I'm telling you, he has the details wrong. That mockup he has is not what you will see.

I've seen what he's referring to. That's not it.

I don't think he claimed that that exact picture is 8.1. The point is that backgrounds are coming to WP8.1.

I've seen what he's referring to. That's not it.

EDIT: "Mockup image of how background images on the Windows Phone 8.1 Start Screen might look" from TheVerge.
>might

So he's unsure about how it will look exactly but says that it's coming.

but you said this "just ******* with you guys, sorry. It's not there."
So you told us no background.
Anyway things will be clearer shortly..
