As Microsoft races to address Windows 11\u2019s clunky start menu<\/a> and lack of tablet-friendly UI<\/a>, it\u2019s also taking time to work on new cosmetic features. And I\u2019m not talking about widgets or gadgets<\/a>\u2014not this time, at least. In a new leak from Albacore, we get our first look at Windows 11\u2019s Desktop Background Stickers.<\/p>\n

Well, maybe \u201cleak\u201d is the wrong word. Albacore dug through the latest Windows 11 Insider release to activate Desktop Background Stickers, a feature that\u2019s both unfinished and intentionally hidden from testers. A short video<\/a> from Albacore shows how stickers work, though I should note that the feature may change before its official rollout.<\/p>\n

? Here’s the first demo of Desktop Background Stickers coming soon to Windows 11<\/p>\n

Using the new sticker editor you can pick, place, and resize stickers as you like. It can be accessed through Settings or by right-clicking your desktop.<\/p>\n

Users can place stickers by right-clicking their desktop or visiting the Personalization tab in Settings. Stickers can be resized or rotated to your liking, and they don\u2019t disappear when you change your desktop wallpaper.<\/p>\n

Microsoft will offer users a limited selection of stickers\u2014you can\u2019t create your own. These stickers appear to be carryovers from Microsoft Teams.\u00a0That said, there\u2019s a chance that third-party developers could upload sticker packs to the Microsoft Store. (This third-party scheme would make sense, as Microsoft is\u00a0really<\/em> trying to make people aware of its app store.)<\/p>\n

Assuming that Microsoft doesn\u2019t abandon this feature, we expect to see Desktop Background Stickers in the upcoming Sun Valley 2 update. Stickers could make an earlier appearance in Windows Insider builds, though.<\/p>\n
