Get a Beautiful Desktop with Windows Themes

Many PC users like to spruce up their Windows desktop with various background pictures. The popularity of Rhiannon’s series on wallpapers attests to the interest in adding something to the plain desktop. With Windows themes, you can do even more than decorate the desktop. Themes are a combination of wallpapers, sounds, windows colors, and screensavers. There are many free themes available on the Internet and Microsoft itself provides a number of interesting selections.

A variety of Windows 7 themes can be downloaded at this Microsoft page. There are themes for a number of subjects, including animals, holidays, landscapes, movies, and nature. New themes are added periodically. Windows XP themes are still available at this separate Microsoft page.

Installing and changing to new themes in Windows 7

Installing a new theme is quite simple. After downloading the file, simply double-click it. This will add the theme to the selection of themes that are available on your system but will not activate it. Changing to a new theme can be done several ways. (Before making any system changes, always create a system restore point.)

An easy method for switching themes is the following:

1. Right-click an empty spot on the desktop
2. Choose “Personalize” from the context menu
3. The Personalization dialog will open and a selection of available themes will be shown
4. Find a theme that you like from the assorted selections and click on it
5. The new theme will appear

If you do not like a theme, click on another selection or revert to your original by clicking on it (step 3 and 4 above). If necessary, you can roll back to the system restore point you made at the beginning.

Another route to the Personalization dialog is this:

1. Enter “theme” (without quotes) in the Start-Search bar
2. Select “Change the theme” from the Control Panel list
3. The procedure is then the same as steps 3-5 above

Security warning

There are many Windows themes offered on the Internet. Unfortunately, malware writers have often used free themes as Trojan horses. Be sure to check carefully any themes you download and only use known reliable sources.
