Start this new concept windows wanted to include in its operating systems, has little chance of customization, so that an inexperienced user interface on the system microsoft does not know how to extricate from this ” digital boredom “. So let’s see how to customize by changing the background and details of WINDOWS StartMetro.

1.) The first customization that we can implement is the owner of the system, ie starting from the START Metro and moving us in the right corner of our screen, you will see a column with several options, click on Settings, and then customizes the window will be replaced with a second , which will allow us to change some settings like the background color, the main color and background designs; selected our favorite combination, simply click on another area of the screen because it closes. If no longer content with only a few of the possibilities offered by Microsoft, but you want to customize it further, we see a few more tricks.

2.) Some programs are user-friendly to our aid, is the case of Windows 8 START CUSTOMIZER, an application can include one or more images as the background of the interface meter. Just download it (from: windows) and install it; once opened you will present in front of a window with various settings, just click on ” load picture ” to select the image you want from us (must be in high resolution). Without this set ” smart screen opacity ” and ” titles opacity ” to the maximum and check ” Run at startup ” so it will start automatically. Selected as everything had to, just to exit, and our meter will finally have our style.

3.) Another small program is useful in customizing METRO SCALER, which is able to size the ” tiles ” of our Metro at will. The program can be downloaded from here: metroscaler is easy to use and remain until you decide to reset the original size of the tiles.
