This is a short video on how to change the Metro User Interface background, as well as the lock picture in Windows 8. It is very simple to do, and offeres a few customization options. Unfortunately at this time it does not support custom images as the background, but I am sure that soon some programs will be able to do it or it will be a feature added in to a later service pack.

I now accept donations through Bitcoins! If you don't know what those are, you can get more information about them at bitcoin.org. My average donations are usually less than .001 BTC, but any amount helps me to make more tutorial videos, so any amount is gladly accepted.
