If it will let you do it at all you will be able to add solid color backgrounds or icons. I have an idea it will be fixed in another update so you have some control of what it looks like. This stirred up a bit of a hornets nest. I am guessing this was done this way because it affected more platforms than Windows. It hasn't affected me because I use the Start10 menu. It makes it much easier to navigate the computer, I have a desktop not a tablet (I have them too, you know what I mean).
