在Windows 8(Windows 8)中更改桌面(Desktop)壁纸与您在Windows 7中看到的过程完全相同。虽然自定义桌面(Desktop)的选择是给定的，但Windows 8 比以前的(Windows)Windows版本更进一步，为您提供了两个自定义功能：锁定屏幕(Lock Screen)和开始(Start)屏幕。右键单击桌面(Desktop)无法访问这些设置，这是大多数新用户首先尝试的。相反，您必须访问PC 设置(PC Settings)才能完成这项工作。继续阅读，我将展示如何选择锁屏(Lock Screen)壁纸，选择屏幕上显示的应用程序锁定屏幕(Lock Screen)，更改您的开始(Start) 屏幕颜色(screen color)并为其选择新模式。结果将为您的 Windows 8计算机或设备(computer or device)带来更加个性化和有趣的外观。
如何在Windows 8中访问 PC(Windows 8)设置(Settings)
在开始自定义之前，您需要打开PC 设置(PC Settings)。有很多方法可以做到这一点。查看这篇文章了解更多信息：Windows 8 简介：访问 PC 设置(Access PC Settings)的五种方法。
进入PC 设置(PC Settings)后，单击或点击个性化。(Personalize.)
您将在此处进行所有自定义。
如何在Windows 8中更改(Windows 8)锁屏壁纸(Lock Screen Wallpaper)
当您尝试使用 Windows 8 设备时，您首先看到的是锁定屏幕(Lock Screen)。当Windows启动时，它会启动到锁定屏幕(Lock Screen)；当它进入睡眠状态时，它会唤醒到锁定屏幕(Lock Screen)；把你的电脑放一会儿，当你回来时，它会坐在锁屏(Lock Screen)上。由于您会经常看到此屏幕，因此在其上放置无聊的股票壁纸(stock wallpaper)一点也不好玩。
要选择新壁纸，请在PC 设置(PC Settings)的个性化(Personalize)部分中选择锁定屏幕(Lock Screen)。
您当前的锁屏(Lock Screen)壁纸将显示在窗口顶部，而一些库存壁纸(stock wallpaper)选项和您的最后一张壁纸将显示在下面的小图块上。单击(Click)或点按其中一个小图块以选择一个，或单击或点(click or tap) 按浏览(Browse)以选择整个照片集(photo collection)。
浏览(Browse)您的图像集(image collection)以找到您喜欢的壁纸。
单击(Click)或点击您选择的壁纸以将其选中。
接下来，单击或点击“选择图片”("Choose picture")将其设置为您的锁屏(Lock Screen)壁纸。
如何选择应用程序(Apps)以在锁定屏幕上(Lock Screen)显示更新(Show Updates)
虽然您的新壁纸将大大改善您的锁定屏幕，但通过添加(Lock Screen)Windows 8应用程序通知，它可能会更有用。将应用程序添加到锁定屏幕(Lock Screen)后，您可以一目了然地访问信息，因此您甚至无需解锁设备即可获得基本信息。例如：邮件(Mail)应用程序会显示您是否有任何新电子邮件，日历(Calendar)应用程序会通知您是否有任何即将发生的事件要记住。
要选择应用程序，请在上面显示的壁纸部分(wallpaper section)下方向下滚动。
单击或点击(Click)“锁定屏幕应用程序”("Lock screen apps")部分第一行的磁贴以打开能够在“开始(Start)”屏幕上留下通知的应用程序列表。除非您一直从Windows 应用商店(Windows Store)下载应用程序，否则您可能只会看到四个默认应用程序(default apps)：日历、邮件、消息(Calendar, Mail, Messaging)和天气(Weather)。单击(Click)或点击一个应用程序以将其选中并将其添加到您的锁定屏幕(Lock Screen)。在此行中选择的应用程序(Apps chosen)只会在屏幕底部显示一个小通知。
虽然之前选择的应用程序(apps show)仅显示少量数据，但您可以选择单个应用程序来显示详细状态。单击(Click)或点击第二行上标有“选择一个应用程序以显示详细状态”的磁贴。("Choose an app to display detailed status.")
现在您已经配置了要在锁定屏幕(Lock Screen)上看到的应用程序，您需要快速检查通知(Notifications)设置以确保一切正常。
单击或点按PC 设置中的(PC Settings)通知(Notifications)，将“在锁定屏幕上显示应用程序通知”("Show app notifications on the lock screen")滑块滑动到“开(On)”，然后将“显示来自这些应用程序的通知”("Show notifications from these apps")部分中所选应用程序(chosen apps)的滑块滑动到“开”。(On.)
锁定(Lock)您的设备以查看您新定制的锁定屏幕(Lock Screen)。
如何更改Windows 8开始屏幕(Start Screen)的模式(Pattern)
自定义锁定屏幕(Lock Screen)后，还需要在自定义“开始(Start)”屏幕上做一些工作。毕竟，一旦您解锁了计算机，您就会进入“开始”屏幕。(Start)
首先从PC 设置中的(PC Settings)个性化(Personalize)部分选择“开始屏幕”("Start screen")。
单击为“(Click)开始(Start)”屏幕提供的模式列表以找到您喜欢的模式。一旦你找到一个好的，你不必单击或点击确定(OK)或任何东西，只需将其选中即可。
不幸的是，您目前无法为“开始”屏幕选择(Start)自定义壁纸(custom wallpaper)，您唯一的选择是本节中列出的设计。
如何更改开始屏幕的(Start Screen)颜色(Color)
选择图案后，向下滚动以找到颜色选择栏(color selection bar)。每个方块显示一种原色和次要颜色。
选择适合您口味和所选图案的配色方案。(color scheme)
结论
虽然自定义开始(Start)屏幕和锁定屏幕(Lock Screen)是一项简单的任务，但它可以让您的 Windows 8 设备符合您的品味和个性。尽管您的“开始”(Start) 屏幕背景(screen background)选项有限，但仍有一些有趣的图案和设计可供选择，足以让我相信大多数用户会找到适合自己口味的东西。
如果您对当前“开始(Start)”屏幕缺乏灵活性感到沮丧，请确保在 2013 年底发布时安装Windows 8.1更新。它有望带来许多有用的变化。
Introducing Windows 8: Customize the Look of the Start & Lock Screens
Changing your Desktop wallpaper in Windows 8 is exactly the same procedure you've seen in Windows 7. While the choice to customize your Desktop is a given, Windows 8 goes farther than previous versions of Windows by giving you two more things to customize: the Lock Screen and Start screen. These settings aren't accessible by right-clicking the Desktop, which is what most new users will try first. Rather, you'll have to access PC Settings to do the job. Read on and I'll show how to pick a Lock Screen wallpaper, select the apps shown on the Lock Screen, change your Start screen color and pick a new pattern for it. The result will be a much more customized and fun appearance for your Windows 8 computer or device.
How to Access PC Settings in Windows 8
Before you can start customizing, you'll need to open PC Settings. There are a number of ways you can do that. Check out this article for more information: Introducing Windows 8: Five Ways to Access PC Settings.
Once in PC Settings, click or tap Personalize.
This where you will do all your customization.
How to Change the Lock Screen Wallpaper in Windows 8
The first thing you'll see when you try to use your Windows 8 device is the Lock Screen. When Windows boots, it boots to the Lock Screen; when it goes to sleep, it wakes up to the Lock Screen; leave your computer along for a while, when you come back, it'll be sitting on the Lock Screen. Since you'll see this screen a lot, having a boring stock wallpaper on it is no fun at all.
To pick a new wallpaper, select Lock Screen in the Personalize section of PC Settings.
Your current Lock Screen wallpaper will be shown at the top of the window, while a few stock wallpaper options and your last wallpaper will be shown on small tiles below. Click or tap one of the small tiles to select one, or click or tap Browse to get the pick of your entire photo collection.
Browse through your image collection to find a wallpaper you like.
Click or tap your chosen wallpaper to select it.
Next, click or tap "Choose picture" to set it as your Lock Screen wallpaper.
How to Select Apps to Show Updates on your Lock Screen
While your Lock Screen will be greatly improved by your new wallpaper, it can be a whole lot more useful by adding Windows 8 app notifications. Adding apps to your Lock Screen gives you access to information at a glance so you don't even have to unlock your device for the basics. For example: the Mail app will show you if you have any new emails and the Calendar app will let you know if you have any upcoming events to remember.
To select apps, scroll down below the wallpaper section shown above.
Click or tap a tile on the first line of the "Lock screen apps" section to open a list of apps that are capable of leaving notifications on your Start screen. Unless you've been downloading apps from the Windows Store, you'll likely only see the four default apps: Calendar, Mail, Messaging and Weather. Click or tap an app to select it and add it to your Lock Screen. Apps chosen on this line will only show a small notification on the bottom of the screen.
While the previously selected apps show only a small amount of data, you can select a single app to display a detailed status. Click or tap the tile on the second row labeled "Choose an app to display detailed status."
Now that you've configured what apps you want to see on your Lock Screen, you'll need to make a quick check on your Notifications settings to ensure that everything will work properly.
Click or tap Notifications in PC Settings, slide the "Show app notifications on the lock screen" slider to On and slide the slider for your chosen apps in the "Show notifications from these apps" section to On.
Lock your device to see your newly customized Lock Screen.
How to Change the Pattern of the Windows 8 Start Screen
Once you've got your Lock Screen customized, it makes sense to put some work into customizing your Start screen as well. After all, once you unlock your computer, it's the Start screen you'll be taken to.
Start by selecting "Start screen" from the Personalize section in PC Settings.
Click through the list of patterns offered for the Start screen to find one you like. Once you find a good one, you don't have to click or tap OK or anything, just leave it selected.
Unfortunately, you cannot select a custom wallpaper for the Start screen at this time, your only options are the designs listed in this section.
How to Change the Color of your Start Screen
Once you have your pattern chosen, scroll down to find the color selection bar. Each square shows a primary and secondary color.
Pick a color scheme that suits your tastes and your selected pattern.
Conclusion
While customizing the Start screen and Lock Screen is a simple task, it goes a long way to making your Windows 8 device fit your tastes and personality. Though your Start screen background options are limited, there are still a few interesting patterns and designs to choose from, enough that I'm confident most users will find something to suit their tastes.
If you're bummed about the lack of flexibility of the current Start screen, make sure to install the Windows 8.1 update when it's released at the end of 2013. It promises to bring many useful changes.
