Is There Anyway to Use the Metro UI Wallpaper On Desktop?

[dn7309]

I just upgrade to 8.1 and the Metro UI have much better wallpaper selection than the desktop. So is there away to the Metro UI wallpaper on the desktop?

I thought Metro apps were full-screen? What purpose would wallpaper on Metro serve? There's no such thing as a "Metro Desktop"?

You can get Metro wallpaper images just about anywhere, however, they will not be "active" on your desktop. You would want more than just wallpaper.

If you are talking about ripping the stock options Start Screen backgrounds, then this link would help out.

Of course, the desktop wallpaper doesn't allow some of the dynamic options of some of the Start Screen backgrounds.

They as of current can be, or snapped at a side.

I believe what the OP might be referring to is the backdrop of the Start Screen.
