UI tweaks in Threshold 2

[IT Troll]

Just read that the Threshold 2 Update (v1511) which is expected 2nd November includes a number of UI tweaks.

• Coloured Title Bars (so you don't click the inactive area by accident when trying to manipulate windows). No more need to hack this.
• New system icons. Including Control Panel, Device Manager and regedit!
• More live tiles.
• New Start Menu context menus.
• New login / lock screen backgrounds.

I was hoping for better customisation of the All apps list on the Start Menu (especially for built-in apps). Maybe next update...

Turns out the 2/11 was sign off day. The update gets rolled out on Patch Tuesday, 10/11.

Wonder if that means the Pro edition will now get the lock screen spot light feature for the random fresh lock screen pictures. Extra columns of live tiles within a column group would be good if I can finally put at least 2 large tiles side by side.

Not looking like that is coming any time soon despite a lot of people asking for it. Its one of the bigger deal breakers with the OS for me.
