See this was free in the app store didn't realize it had hidden charges sorry about that,
Well your other option and slightly more messing around to create the same effect or just jazz up your start menu would be [APP] OblyTile - Tile Creator for all programs. - xda-developers
Latest version at bottom of first post.
I prefer this way has you have more control and can be has creative has you wish.

tcman50, that's got to be one of the best I've seen so far.

Well done.

I've done a screen-dump of it to show friends who are wary of the Win 8 start-screen......


EDIT: - I meant the first one, but I do like the 'clean look' in that last one.
