You’re no longer limited to the handful of colors Windows 8 supported
for the Start screen. As shown in Figure 1, you can select almost any
color you want by opening the Settings charm and then selecting
Personalize. You can also select your own desktop wallpaper, though you
can’t select a different image as your wallpaper.
Figure 1 You can now select custom colors for the Start screen.
Windows 8.1 also makes your Start screen more dynamic by using motion accents. Basically, graphics move with your Start screen, providing an interesting, almost three-dimensional effect. Watch the video at the link provided at the beginning of this section to see motion accents in action.
