Post your Windows 8.1 Start screen!

[Steven P. 13,363]

 

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.

18 October: Relativity_17 chosen by The _Decrypter

Oh wait, this is for US users only. Oh well still a good thread to post our start screens. :)

Nope. Neowin doesn't believe in borders for a digital gift, anyone anywhere can enter. ;)

Now that 8.1 is out, time to get Neowin working with IE11... *hint* *hint* ;)

Mine after 5 minutes of tweaking the start screen on my AMD machine. Yeah, I've got the taskbar on my start screen and yes it's fully functional. ;)

 

EDIT: Did a few more minutes of tweaking.

Would be neat to implement parallax effects in custom backgrounds, and tune the darkness/blurriness of the overlay.

[Ravensky 632]

Mine for now =)

First winner!  Relativity_17 chosen by The _Decrypter

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.
