If this is going to be our only option, then it's going to suck!

I've seen what it looks like in 8.1. It's just like Skinery. It's completely optional too, obviously. I think it's kind of a neat idea, but whatever.
As long we can turn it off, it's not a problem for me. But if MS don't let us choose the background too, the majority of people are gonna talk trash about it. What started as a great idea turns out to be a joke.
Actually I like the pic Tom posted, I think its the new direction that no other OS went to. I vote fore picture tiles, I just wonder how are they going to implement it. Can't wait.

You end up covering the logos of most apps. And you can't tell anything apart. I'm not sure why this is good, if not just for a one-time "woah, that's weird" comment from your friends. There's a reason you don't have iOS with a black background and all the icons showing part of a picture. It would be a nightmare to use.
But unrelated to your comment, I don't understand why they just don't implement it like W8.1 where you can just select a background from a list that Microsoft has preloaded. Like on W8.1, I have that red fire background that moves when I scroll the screen...like that's just awesome!

I know I've been back and forth on this a lot but after visiting this site "Unique Layouts for Windows Phone 8 - Wiphomes", I think I've made my final decision on this. I like the skinned tiles and with a notification center, I don't think I will use live tiles much. So, yeah. Skinned it is .
Also, if you look at this forum, you'll see a lot of neat skinned tiles
Look at what I found from the forums http://forums.windowscentral.com/at...ne-8/34913d1369825868-wp_ss_20130529_0002.png
Now I hope MS leaves this as their final decision (maybe they can also add the "behind the tile background" option for those who need it but I realistically see people using the skinned tiles more as it shows the entire picture or they can just stick to live tiles)
I never used the skinnery tiles app so my question is, what does it do with the image on the next set of tiles? Do the image just keep repeating down, or does it then pick another image? What if you don't have enough tiles for a full image display (assuming repeat or new image), does it just chop half of the image off? It can't exactly scroll the image to make it a stationary background as it would have to update the app tiles based on your offset and that would just be a laggy mess if you are scrolling a lot..
