A new Windows 7 theme is now available for download via the Windows Personalization Gallery. Dubbed Diffusion, the new theme pack is one of the more artistic collections of personalization content offered by Microsoft to users of Windows Vista’s successor.

Customers running Windows 7 can download the free Diffusion theme immediately and install it on their computers.

Users of non-Windows 7 operating systems can also grab the Diffusion theme, but they will need to treat it like an archive in order to access its contents.

By leveraging an archiver customers will be able to extract the contents and set each wallpaper as the desktop background.

There are a total of 13 wallpapers in the Diffusion theme, and I made sure to include previews of the images with this article.

Of course, taking into consideration the fact that the theme pack is available free of charge, customers can simply download it and access the contents locally.

“Diffusion creates mysterious and beautiful abstract designs in this free Windows 7 desktop theme,” reads the description from Microsoft.

Although it might appear that all of the images belong together because of the leitmotif they share, fact is that the collection has been created somewhat artificially.

The images belong to multiple photographers, and in this regard, users must appreciate the work that went into ensuring that the theme pack delivers a sentiment of cohesiveness.

Each wallpaper in the Diffusion theme packs metadata which can be easily accessed by right-clicking the images, selecting properties and then clicking on the Details tab.

Customer should not expect all that many details, but they will be able to find out for example the name of the photographer that snapped the shot, as well as the source of the image, if they’ll be interested in seeing additional work from the authors.

The Windows 7 Diffusion Theme is available for download here.
