Finally got around to installing the insider preview. So far it looks like the only thing that has changed is that attempting to read from the shell desktop background "window" returns solid black instead of the desktop background as expected.
The weird thing is attempting to read the final composited desktop "window" works fine, except for the fact that it's the final composited desktop which means it includes all the windows and whatnot so I can't use that.
So now I get to hunt down a way to convince Windows to let me read the shell background again.
Worst case I go back to the old "find out what image file is being used and read that" but that was a mess of edge cases so I'd really rather avoid it...
