Adding own personal pictures to the start screen - Windows 8 General

I'm so tired of the default themes already, Is it possible to add a personal background like with a picture?

I'm sorry, I meant to say on the Metro UI. All it gives is a list of colors and patterns. There is only like 4 patterns and I want to add a picture instead. Thanks.

Below is an example pic of what I'm talking about.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",

Hide Icon names.

Hey guys,
Is there any way to hide the name of the icon on the "desktop" or "springboard" if you will... They are so unattractive, and hiding the apps names wud sure give it a sexy edge.

You can do this in preferences with Launcher Pro.

I use Better Cut to change desktop icon names. A blank space results in a "no name" icon, like my Uninstaller icon...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So at least that way, I can use the stock UI and get icons w/o names.

Banchmark graphs

There is a lot of screenshots of people posting their benchmarks on a graph comparing it to other phones. Where can I find the option to do this on the phone? I want to do a before and after when I root.
Thanks.

There are too many pictures on the site. Can you specify which one you're looking for?

How do you have your messaging themed?

I actually like MOST things about LGs UI over vanilla, but one thing I can't seem to get to my satisfaction is the messaging theme.
There is options to change it I know, but the bubble color and background options you are given are so ridiculous. I would switch to a 3rd party app, but I LOVE the way stock has the pop ups.
Anyway, how do you guys have your messaging themes? Have you set a custom wallpaper?
I've attached mine, I actually think it's decent. I wish we had a way to add more bubble colors.
