Four New Windows 7 Themes Released By Microsoft

Microsoft has released four new themes for their latest operating system Windows 7. Some users who have not made the switch yet might be wondering how it can be that Microsoft seems to be pumping out themes for that operating system but supported their operating system in years with only a handful.

Two aspects play a role. There is the new and improved theme engine in Windows 7 that makes it much easier to create and share themes. Anyone can do it as a new theme is automatically created when a user changes the wallpaper of the system. It is possible to add additional wallpapers to the theme and change the colors, sounds and other elements.

The second reason for this seems to be a change in strategy. Microsoft seems to have realized that these things make a lot of users happy. That in turn is good for Microsoft as it changes the perception of Microsoft.

The four new themes have been released at the Personalization website over at Microsoft. All themes can be downloaded from that website free of charge. Themes can be installed on the operating system with a simple double-click on the downloaded file.

The themes as you can see consist of a dog, cat, summit and Christmas theme. Check out our Windows 7 themes collection over at our Windows 7 website for more themes not only for Windows 7 but also previous Microsoft operating systems.

    Personally I would rather see a change in the complete system where you can change the color of the basic theme. I need to enable aero just to change the color, which is just weird. Or even better, create a XP-style!
