Not do the OS any justice? They need to show off that ridiculously high ppi screen! Show something flashy

[CrackBerry Kevin]

Hmm.... don't disagree. I'll tell them to punch it up a bit!

[Masahiro]

Haha. I was thinking about how much better it would look in my hands once I change up that background. I can't expect them to have super flashy wallpapers though. It would detract from the OS elements they were trying to show off.

Not something too crazy, but something with a little texture

They need to make sure that black and white are options for the background, as well. That will make a nice comparison with Windows Phone 7/8 too. You can't see enough of the background in the home screen for anything other than a solid color or a bit of texture to be very aesthetically pleasing, IMHO.

Does bb10 allow dynamic backgrounds? Like maybe if the playbook start up animation was a background, that would be cool.

Something like this?

This comment wasn't part of your talk on dealing with bloggers and media was it?

[hurds]

I agree but I don't think there is any reason to be flashy yet. They are still only working with the DEV devices. They should save the flashy stuff for the big release. I think its a good plan how they are doing it. I'm hoping the icon appearance changes as well.

[calicocat2010]

Yes, those icons need to be updated . Some have mentioned to make them look like the PlayBook icons?

[Balti43]

thats one thing about apples presentations that i always like they always have a very unique-ish image something that catches your attention at first and make you appreciate the "retina" display but after a few seconds your mind fades into the OS

[calicocat2010]

Well, I think if they are going to be revamping the Homescreen (If they do, and I hope they do) they should at least use the Highest DPI to show off those beautiful graphics for the Icons, as the OP mentioned but I added in something new.

As a theme junkie, one thing that worries me about BB10, as with the reason why I find iOS boring as well as Windows, is the possibility of no themes. If I have to look at squares only with no themes it will bore me to tears. I hope that there will at least be live wallpapers as in Android.

[Alex_Hong]

I think with a wallpaper it does look much better.
The blue background really doesn't do it justice.

I agree so far the colors and background has indeed bored me to all h3ll already (I tweak my layout every so days). I still like the UI a bit though.

Just not to keen on the idea of going back to a 4.2" screen yet. I think what I'll end up doing is developing a bb10 theme for cm10 and comparing that to my actual l-series and see what I prefer more lol. That is unless some other dev hasn't already developed a bb10 launcher for android.

You should be able to change it.

[mooda]

you can change the background i have some fractal art as the background on my dev alpha. worlds better then the original blue

[tinysalmon]

fingers crossed for themes or customizable icons in BB10.
PS. the icons on the bb devs are not to my liking. (rather not say ugly lol)
cheers
