How do you add titles, like Social, News, etc, and group your icons under it like that? Not seeing that option.

Are you now able to match the desktop background with the start screen one in the RTM? Cant find a way to do that on the RP.

I don't think you can. I've not found a way to do it, at least. Which is what I wanted to do. The only thing I can think of is copying your current wallpaper into w/e folder has the Start Screen background.

No, I had to clear my Start Screen, snapshot it, and edit out the rest of the clutter in Paint.Net to use it as a background.

I really wonder how things will look if/when MS adds support for "small" tiles on the start screen. There's a case to be made that you'll start to run into scrolling hell at some point which is why I believe MS made the changes to WP8 that it did, small tiles as an option saves space etc, and also why they got rid of the right hand gutter (though some people didn't like it as well).

I'll be using that one when i get windows 8.

thanks for that pic!

btw, all of these w8 pics are incredibly beautiful. I was hesitant at first, but these pics are definitely convincing.

you can already set the tiles to be small it is in the RP version of window s8 and the CP so you can already you right click on the tiles and you have an option to make it smaller

I don't think that's the "small" i'm talking about though. Windows 8 has the default square tiles and then the bigger double wide tiles to pick from, there is no 3rd option like with WP8/7.8 to have an even smaller tile on your screen.

well the smaller size is rather smaller saving a bit of space here is screenshots showing the desktop tile for example

IS there a way to use your own background on the Start Screen in RTM yet?

No not yet, expect some sort of tool in the future though. I have no doubt about this ability coming soon.

Yeah, I believe all it requires it editing of a few DLL files. It won't take much to create a simple tool to do that.

      I always thought the moon gets a lot of impact because there’s no atmosphere, so surely building a moon base is only going to end in disaster?

    • Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is heavily used in work and school environments, and perhaps one of its core but extremely useful features is the ability to record meetings. In past years, Microsoft has further improved upon this functionality by integrating AI, but you do need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to leverage most, if not all, all of those capabilities. Now, the Redmond tech firm is making another significant enhancement in the area of Teams meeting recordings. Up until now, if you wanted to access Teams recordings, you had to arduously locate the meeting invite and navigate to the dedicated tab, or go to the cloud storage location such as a SharePoint site. This was a rather overwhelming activity, especially if you don't remember the name of the meeting or the meeting occurred quite a while ago. Microsoft is now attempting to solve this problem through a dedicated Recap app that consolidates all your recordings. This centralized experience will allow users to find all recordings from the past 30 days and also offer access to other related services such as transcripts and AI-powered summaries. Customers will have the option to search for recordings, filter them, and review multiple meetings by generating AI-powered podcast-style recaps. The Recap app will list all available recordings in both thumbnail and list views. The former is shown below: And here is how Teams users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can select multiple recordings to generate a podcast-style audio recap: Microsoft has emphasized that the Recap app is pre-installed in Teams but it will not be pinned by default. Users will able to navigate to the Teams app store from the left rail, and pin it from the apps section. It will be enabled by default for all users once it becomes available. It's worth noting that while Teams recordings and transcripts can be accessed by all users governed by existing permissions, AI-powered features like intelligent summaries, audio recaps, and video recaps will require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. The Recap app will be generally available to Teams users on Windows, Mac, and the web by the end of next month, with mobile support coming soon.

      It's so stupid that you have to "enroll" in these extended updates.
