    Agreed. For those who want to go through all of the Colorset choices, I, also, would love for them to upload it and share it.

    I'll get around to it soon. So far, all I've done is change the tile colors, text and my boot menu color.

    Vizion, indeed, impressive. Very impressive. Almost beyond words. All of my Metro Apps are still working great.

    Tested it on a Local account, for some reason it the background is fine there, even with my few tweaks.
    my LiveID account is kinda bugged overall too, Explorer doest start correctly on logon, so i have to bring up a extra Explorer window, restart the old Explorer, then it actually starts o_O

    The whole syncing feature is buggy as hell, been saying that since day one. I have 2 machines here running WDP with local accts only and everything works fine, but on previous installs both setups eventually started having issues when I used Live Id's. I am giving up on Live ID for now, at least until I can try it again on beta bits.

    I had the same problem with a Local account (Explorer not starting correctly), other than that i don't had any bugs besides that buggy Wallpaper
    No idea what caused this bug cause the new Local account i created doesnt have it

    No LiveID = No Live SDK. Luckily I don't have too much problem with it so far.:D

    Vizion, your program, in regard to background images, was working perfectly before 1.3.0 with the exception of adding canvas to the left , bottom and top of the desired image.

    I see you have fixed that, now, for the most part but on 1440x900 I get a blue stripe (my current background color) with your latest release (1.3.0):

    Am I doing something wrong?

    V.1.2.1 still works fine as long as I adjust my image beforehand, as I mentioned earlier in this thread (no stripe).

    Many regards and thanks, Vizion, for an amazing program. :)

    I've never heard that a pre-beta (or M3) build that has no problem or no bug. Maybe you'd better off to wait until win8 RTM :haha:

    Nice work, Vizion. I found -12 pixels works perfectly on my 1440x900 resolution.

    Thanks! :)

    alex, to eliminate the right side distortion, I just expanded the canvas of my 1440x900 pic to 1600x900. No issues.

    The amount to expand may vary according to the number of tiles you have (I have a lot).
