Would like more colors.
It's not as simple as turning on a slider. MS highly values user experience, and if someone accidentally chooses a color they can't see, guess who they're going to take their ***** rage out on?
I'd like to see more choices, or maybe a slider and some intelligence to prevent stupid people from screwing up their phones.
I'm fine with whatever direction MS is taking with WP. The idea is that only certain colors work well with the UI and if someone picks a color of their own it might not reflect properly in the UI. MS internally tests different colors and if they fit with the UI they are then added as we've seen with each major update.
I wish they had more subdued colors. The current ones are ok, but to much contrast or something. It keeps me stuck on either olive or steel. Others are to bright. Yellow is like looking into the sun.
*If* you can change the background of the Tiles, one could just set a plain colour background of their choosing. Although that's a clumsy way to go about it.
What i really want is the dual-colour themes of Windows 8, or the ability to change the Tiles and Background to replicate that look, as demonstrated in my unfinished Amateurish mockups.
This is precisely correct. Just save an image with your favorite/proffered color to your phone and set it as the wallpaper.
It doesn't take a genius to see that Microsoft has already give everyone with Windows Phone 8.1 the tools to do what all of you are "so desperate for."
