Windows 8 Start Screen Customizer v1.3.8 beta

This is a new version of this tool that will change your Windows 8 Start Screen background picture.

This tool doesn't need to edit your imageres.dll file anymore.

Changelog:
• Fixed bug on enabling/disabling another monitor.
• Added support for High DPI settings.

New:

• You can set your desktop wallpaper as background picture (not support for multimonitor, it just uses the main monitor's desktop wallpaper)
• You can select your pictures from any folder and set it as a sequence of background pictures.
• There is a blur effect available, it is slow and slower on bigger resolutions, but it might work for you.
• Tiles opacity can now be changed (not perfect though)
• You can revert to default background

Old and still available features:

• You can choose a picture and select the area to be shown as background picture.
• You can set the StartScreen transparency
• You can set the rows of you tiles (limited by your screen resolution)
• You can run it on startup hidden, so you can see your custom background as soon as this tool starts
• Save configuration to ini file.

On screen resolution change, StartScreen remains with the previous background picture using the screen resolution (if application is not running), but the tool will fix it as soon as it detects resolution change.

Downloader beware:

Although the program itself is clean it comes bundled with other programs which are riddled with malware, pay special attention when installing and either uncheck or deny anything that is not related to this software.

The only thing I can figure is that he closed his DA page or someone request it be closed, because he was getting some real nasty posts because of his download being riddled with malware. Probably still is.



I would check the file you have with Virus total before actually using it. Don't remember the virus total numbers last time I checked it but I do know they were pretty high.



You don't really need it anyway because 8.1 pretty much does now all that the Start Screen Customizer did for 8.

hello everyone
I agree this program is a great thing, but i have a problem:
i managed to set a custom image as StartScreen background, but as i shut down the PC or restart it, the image disappears!
:(
i had a similar problem with a custom cursor, and resolved by saving it in the same folder of the default windows cursors. But here i can't find the folder of the default images!
help me please ^^

Set the app to start when Windows does that should sort that problem for you.:friendly_wink:
