say on the matter:

“We want to thank all of you that have used Glance Background Beta and sent us feedback during this beta trial. It has clearly been a popular feature. Although we aren’t expecting to update this specific beta app any further, we continue to explore ways to improve glance screen capabilities in general. At this time, we will conclude the Glance Background beta trial at Nokia Beta Labs, but keep the app available in Store ‘as is’ for you to enjoy.”
Glance Background allows Windows Phone users to bring their photos and images on the phone to the lock screen. Up to 4 images could be chosen for the background, and the application also came with an editor to customize the photos. The application as launched last year as a beta build, but no updates had been released for it. One can always hope Microsoft picks up the development, farfetched as it sounds. You can take a look at Glance Background on the Windows Phone Store here.]]>

  • Seems like a pretty cool app and concept. However, I’ve never heard of it, which is probably why they stopped updating. Just a lack of popularity or recognition.

  • Honestly, I’ve never used it, so maybe it is a good app, but it looks pretty simple and pointless from what I see and read here. Don’t think it’s something anyone will miss.

  • Awww I used to love this! Admittedly, I stopped using it recently, but it’s definitely an app I’m sad to see go. Hopefully, something similar and better will replace it.
