How can I extract a background?

There's a transparent image, I can't remember what number though, that's 2000x1000. You'll have to extract it with a resource hacker and modify it to your need.

DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU HAVE UPGRADED TO WIN 8 FROM A PREVIOUS WINDOWS VERSION OR ARE USING THE ENTERPRISE EVALUATION (shsxs.dll is not present). You wont be able to boot into windows, and you will have to reinstall your operating system. PLEASE TAKE NOTE. To the poster: You should make this very clear, so people don't have to learn the hard way.

It says developer preview only in the title. Should've been clear to begin with.
