Is it possible to have a different background image for the start screen that's not the desktop wallpaper. I want to have two different custom wallpapers for them.

Unfortunately that didn't help. The start screen personalization settings only gives me the option of having the same image as my desktop if I want a custom background. Thanks tho.

p.s. just to be clear, I want a custom background/wallpaper/image not a windows one.

I will give Decor8 a try. After the trial is over will everything revert back tho? I rather not use a 3rd party program but Decor8 does look pretty cool. Thanks.

I don't know if things revert back or not.

I've always used the paid version.
