Another feature request: match desktop background

Decor8 is exactly what I've been looking for to mitigate the schizophrenic feel of Windows 8.

I am using the same background for desktop and the start screen, have the colours set to match my desktop windows.

At the moment this requires setting the wallpaper twice (once in desktop, once in Decor8). I'm sure that an option to match the Decor8 background to the desktop wallpaper would be popular, and quite simple to implement.

This might be getting a bit fancy, but as another thought:

The ability to blend the background with the start screen colour is great. What about a Gaussian blur? This could be used to make the start screen look a little like the MacOS Launchpad, or Ubuntu Dashboard.

This is what I've achieved with Decor8. Many thanks for a great product and a steal at $5.

Really nice ... as long as the blur on the Metro is an option

Still want to see the ability to set Tile background alpha and be able to change the texture/shape of the tiles themselves. Personally I want to see a glass-like rounded corner tile option with transparency.
