Start Screen, Tiles, Lock Screen, Charms Menu, these are the things with which the Windows users interact daily. We don’t often like default looks and feel of most of the software do we? Especially in Windows 8.1, the start screen has been teasing a lot of users because of its extra colourful, wriggled up start screen and tiles which does not please the eyes and effect usability in a negative way. So if you are really looking to get rid of cranky and loopy interface, awful tiles of Windows 8.1, we will recommend you with an awesome tool, Decor8 from Stardock, thanks to the latest beta version release for Windows 8.1, you can use this colossal third party tool to customize Windows 8.1 aesthetics and outlook.

You can change backgrounds by going into the library images, change sizes of the images and on the top of that, if you don’t like the in-built images, you can spice things up and add your custom image by selecting any image file. For all the windows 8.1 folks out there who are teased up because of the nudge of tile colours, it’s time to cheer up because Decor8 gives you an option to change colour schemes for tiles too. You can change icons, customizations and best use the recommendations by the Decor8.
