OneStart 2015.523.856.3198

Add a personal touch to the Start screen of your phone with a neat customization tool
When it comes to changing the appearance of the mobile device, which most users carry around on a regular basis, visual appeal is the most important aspect.

Those who are looking for a means of personalizing the system area they meet most often when accessing the installed apps will surely appreciate having OneStart at hand on their Windows Phone handsets.

Well organized and appealing interface

The application brings you a smart layout where all the functions are at hand and grouped under relevant categories to make them easier to find and use.

The preview area is clean and offers a very good perspective of how the fresh screen will look like after the customization is applied. You can also swipe up and down inside the preview area to see how the colors and gradients will look like when there is a longer list of items pinned to the Start screen.

The main commands are kept inside the menu hosted in the lower side of the screen and going through the various sections of OneStart is smooth and without any delays or glitches of some sort.

Create beautiful backgrounds of several kinds

The utility enables you to try out quite a few types of wallpapers to use as Start screen backgrounds. The selection includes plain ones, based on one color gradient, others based on a mix of two colors and you can even use saved images from your phone as backgrounds.

A neat option is the "Rainbow" style background that can accommodate up to 6 columns, with lost of layouts for the tiles to accommodate small, medium and wide ones in a cool pattern, with different colors for each column.

There are also some other background types that you can try and see how they can change the looks of your Start screen, but to save the wallpapers created with these ones a PRO license has to be purchased.

Enjoy a few neat tile customizations

With OneStart you can make some additions to the Start screen and they may come in the form of blank tiles that you can use as separators for better organizing the other items pinned to the list.

Also, there is a neat "Group Label" type of tiles you can add to the screen and you can add a text label to each of them so, after they appear on the Start screen, they will serve as a means of differentiating various tile groups.
