Publisher's Description
From Stardock:
Windows 8 limits your start screen customization options to only a few provided background images and a pre-defined color schemes. Decor8 removes these limitations and provides the freedom to personalize your start and lock screens with your own images and colors.
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; Includes two dozen additional images;
Decor8 will automatically create a color scheme to match each of your background images or you can customize the color scheme, it's up to you.
What's new in this version: 1.01 adds an optional clock on the Start screen, support for UI translation, and new bundled images.

"Not worth the effort"
Version: Decor8 1.01
Pros
Low price.
Cons
Customization is mostly limited to what can be done with Windows 8 hacks already.
Panoramic wallpapers don't seem to work - if you have a wallpaper that would normally span two monitors, you won't be able to use the entire width of that wallpaper as a Start Screen backdrop.Summary
This is a nice try, but sorely lacking in value. I gave it about twenty minutes of trying to overcome some of the constraints and limits that Microsoft imposed on the Start Screen, and finally uninstalled it when I couldn't get any more customization than it could offer.
If you live on the Start Screen all day, maybe (that's a very large maybe) you will find this of value. If not, then just bypass this and set a color scheme from those offered, decorate the backdrop with one of the preconfigured options (or none at all), and be done with it.
