WindowsBlogItalia have posted some new Windows Phone 8.1 start screen pictures (via China) showing what the OS will look like with picture backgrounds.

Unlike the rather garish first example we have seen, these ones look a whole lot better, mainly due to using a more appropriate and toned down image.

With the better imagery, do our readers find the implementation more acceptable? Let us know below.

Update: See a screen shot of the Settings page to enable start screen background photos after the break.
