Stardock Decor8–Customize Start Screen

Nov 8, 2012·Dustin

Estimated Reading Time: 1 min

Stardock, the company behind Start8, which brings back the Start menu to Windows 8, has released a beta for Decor8. Decor8 is an application that can customize your start screen with tile placement and backgrounds.

Personally, I really like the Start screen and don’t mind the loss of the start menu. But, my gripe was that it just wasn’t customizable. Now, it is. I’m definitely going to test out the beta on this one!

Choose from more background images to personalize your start screen.

  • Add your own photos and images
  • Select multiple images to create a custom slideshow
  • Randomize background images in timed intervals for a fresh look
  • Fade background images against the start screen color for a subtle effect
