Last week we mentioned how Windows Phone Hacker was working on a homebrew hack to allow you to customize your Start Tiles on your phone. The trick only requires a developer unlocked device (no interop-unlock) and some patience to get your phone to look the way you want. Overall the trick looks simple enough and could be a great way to kill afternoon. Features include:
- Customize any tile (system or third party, including Marketplace)
- Use your image as a background for the tiles
- Use an accent color for overlay transparency
- Import themes
- Export themes
- A bundle of joy with easy personalization ;)
There's even a tutorial video to get you started on your project. Head over to Windows Phone Hacker for the file and more information and maybe jump into our forums to start sharing your creations!
