There are already some third-party tools out there which offer Windows 8 customisations, but since there's so much you can do with nothing but the operating system’s built-in tools, this collection of customisation tips will concentrate purely on those.
And you can now sync your customisations among all Windows 8 PCs you sign into. Not only can you choose a desktop background, screensaver, and system sounds, but you can also take advantage of downloadable Themes, including some that are dynamically updated throughout the day. Windows 8 also inherits many of the customisation options that were available in Windows 7, in the newer OS's desktop mode.
