Steven P. Administrators Posted October 17, 2013 Administrators Share Posted October 17, 2013 Microsoft has started a competition that only U.S. residents can enter, you could win a $10 Windows Store card over the next few days. We think it's a bit unfair to limit it within U.S. borders, so over the next few days Neowin will be selecting winners for their Windows 8.1 Start screen. Each day a random staff member will select a Start screen they think is cool. If selected, you'll win a Tier 2 subscription for a year worth $28 USD. Good luck! *If you aren't registered on Neowin. Register a free account here with Facebook, Twitter or Windows Live login.. Or you can create an account the old fashioned way here on Neowin. Winners: 18 October: Relativity_17 chosen by The _Decrypter 19 October: spencer.d chosen by Charisma 20 October: FaiKee chosen by Neobond 21 October: Sszecret chosen by Denis W 22 October: InsaneNutter chosen by Marshall 23 October: jesseinsf chosen by cooky560 24 October: beanboy89 chosen by jeston The competition has ended, but leaving this topic open for people who want to add their Start screens. From time to time I may come back in here and giveaway a Subscription for the lulz :P Phouchg, Jose_49 and Ian W 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhangm Supervisor Posted October 18, 2013 Supervisor Share Posted October 18, 2013 Would be neat to implement parallax effects in custom backgrounds, and tune the darkness/blurriness of the overlay.

+InsaneNutter MVC Posted October 18, 2013 MVC Share Posted October 18, 2013 This is my current start screen since installing 8.1 a month ago.This was my 8.1 preview start screen, it was a lot of effort customising the desktop icons and they didn't sync between devices (:() so i'm not sure if i'm going to do that yet in the RTM build.
