The Start screen available in Windows 8 and 8.1 is one of the most controversial features ever, with many users and experts claiming that it’s more like a feature aimed at touch-capable devices.

There is one thing, however, that could completely change your opinion on the Start screen. Simply called Startuy, the concept you’re seeing here is a re-imagination of the Windows Start screen, bringing lots of great features on Windows 8.1.

As you can see, it features new Start screen tiles, which are not yet customizable, video and overlay theme packs, accelerometer and swipe sensitive parallax video and camera backgrounds, as well as customizable UI with user’s own video backgrounds and overlays.

The best of all? It turns out that Startuy is becoming a real thing, with Windows 8.1 users to be allowed to download it from the Store after the October 18 release date.
