How to make the coolest Lock screen for your Windows Phone

1. Download the free and fantastic app Blur from the Windows Phone Store.
2. Screenshot your Start screen (Start key + Power on 8.0; Volume up and Power on 8.1)
3. Launch Blur on your phone and adjust amount of blurriness
4. Then either save to your phone or just set as Lock screen

That’s it. It literally takes seconds to do. Now for tips!

Tips

• On 8.1 devices, you may want to edit out the new static Status icons near the top
• You can use Tilesparency, found here, to create ‘dummy’ Tiles in case you have a weather or clock app with info you don’t want (this is super picky, but just in case)
• You can now also use your favorite Lock screen app to add things e.g. Lock Widgets (found  in the Store) to add weather or battery info, or just keep it plain.
