Steven P. Founder 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 3 Share Link to post Share on other sites

zhangm Supervisor Share Posted October 18, 2013 Would be neat to implement parallax effects in custom backgrounds, and tune the darkness/blurriness of the overlay. 3 Share Link to post Share on other sites

+InsaneNutter 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. 5 Share Link to post Share on other sites
