Unlike previous editions of Windows, Windows 7 allows users to
customize the appearance of the operating system. Microsoft call it
“themes”, although they are not proper themes. It should have been
called “color schemes” because that’s what they really are – different
color variation of the same basic Windows 7 theme.
If
you are looking for REAL themes where every UI element is skinned –
taskbar, toolbar, menus, explorer, you have to checkout the creations at
DeviantArt. To spare you the troubles of going through hundreds of
themes, I have handpicked 32 of the most beautiful Windows 7 themes from
the said source.
Note: Please read the notes
from the theme creator for instructions and link to wallpaper, icons
etc. Basic instruction on how to apply a theme is provided at the end of
the collection.
