    How do I change the background of the start screen? I don't like that circle thing that's currently up there and would like to replace it with my wallpaper.

    Forgive me jesting, I know your feeling, but the best answer is - don't watch the computer starting.
    But, in the final release, which I am using now, the option is available from a selection of pictures, or customisable.

    Was talking about the screen you get when you press the Windows button, lol. The boot screen looks fine to me.

    Your image didn't load btw.

    Sorry. I think it should be ok now. I still haven't quite worked out the neat way to upload such pictures, without using an URL.:rolleyes:

    Visited that page and it doesn't seem like you can upload your own custom image, bummer :(

    I was trying to find a way to do this as well and I haven't found one.
    I just chose a black one that looks decent and customized everything else.
