I did the see-through thing for a while. It was fun. Then it just ..... wasn't.
I like to see the colors stand out. Your basic tiles are the color of your mood, the other tiles and the pinned websites interspaced so you can tell in a glance which is which. To me, that just feels like it is my screen and it is no one elses in the world. The transparent tiles just feels like a screen you can see on any Android out there.
Of course, I am in the minority so far. So the story of my life. I am a registered Republican in the state of Illinois. I am really used to being out voted. :wink:
