Show off your Windows 8 start screen

As the title says...start key + printscreen key to take a screenshot if anyone doesn't know.

Here's how I set mine up. Not any pinned directories at the moment, just the programs and apps I flip to the most, laid out how it makes sense to me:



Off the right side of the screen is my column for "Entertainment," featuring Netflix, Xbox Video, Pinball FX, Kindle, and Nook. For anything else I need, I just start typing to use the start screen search.

 

Print Screen key by itself no longer captures a screen shot? I wonder if Greenshot is compatible with Windows 8.

 

Am getting a short glimpse of this before Classic Shell does it's magic.

 

Here is my setup at the moment, though I truly don't use the start menu all that much.

 

Nothing special here....

 

Don't think we'll see much variation here. Resized from 1920x1080

 

No offense but it's hard to do anything W8's aesthetic, it has all the pazazz of an HP notebook geared toward college freshmen.

 

Yup, MS should have made it more customizable. At least add a custom wallpaper support. As far as I know you need a third party software to do that.

 

Here is my start menu. I use classic shell more though.

 

I was more interested in tile selection and organization than people's wallpaper.

 

A lot of people have the blue/purple; I prefer the red:



I'll be honest, though, I only recently switched to Windows 8 so I haven't done much customizing and I still am pretty accustomed to mostly use the desktop to access programs, so my utilization of the Metro start screen is limited. But I do like Netflix app, and I use the Weather, OneNote, and Mail app frequently.

 

Phil, you got 4 updates waiting for you in the Windows Store... I'm nosy that way.

 

Well, yeah, I'm really trying here, but I have a hard time thinking of anything that could be more lame than a "Show off your Windows 8 start screen"-thread. Really, now...

 

I'm just scratching my head over all the rarely used, oddball apps people stick on their Start screen.

 

If you don't want to participate in the thread, don't. Don't come in here to complain about how you don't want to talk about it.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out...

 

You are..........................................absolutely right!

Thanks, missed it myself

I like the red background but not the orange start button (in charms) and highlight color that comes along with it...
