Some have criticized the feature online, but it will be disabled by default, so it shouldn't be cumbersome or in the way.
Desktop background stickers aren't avaialble for testing at this time. Presumably, Albacore was able to unlock the feature after finding it in an Insider build of Windows 11.
It's possible to tweak the look of your PC with the best apps for customizing Windows 11, but desktop stickers are native and appear easy to use. They should provide another level of personalization and allow people to express themselves on their PCs.
