Hello everyone, I would like to know if someone has all the Windows 8 RTM start screen backgrounds, with all the color variations. I'm asking because I would like to use some as wallpapers on Windows 7 but haven't seen them online. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have 2 questions:

1. Is that the default resolution used on the Start screen backgrounds?

2. Do you happen to have them all?

Answer 1: Windows 8 Start Screen's background is seemless background consists of top, middle & bottom images.
(That is why We cannot choose our own image as start screen background... Imagine having a 1920x1200 image and you have a lots of metro tiles in your start screen, that would make the image stretch out)
Answer 2: I can share you the imageres.dll or if you have one, just look at it using Resource Hacker or Restorator...
