A new free Windows 7 theme has been added to the Windows Personalization Gallery this week designed to celebrate the return of Kung Fu Panda.

Fans of the cartoon Panda whose dream of becoming a Kung Fu master became reality in the first iteration of the series will be able to have the character featured on their desktops in anticipation of the upcoming release.

Of course, as is the case with all Windows Personalization themes, this particular theme pack can only be installed on Windows 7.

Still, users can download and extract the wallpapers included in the theme even if they don’t run Windows 7, also free of charge.

Here is the official description that Microsoft provided for the Windows 7 Kung Fu Panda 2 theme:

“Prepare for the return of awesomeness! Download this free Windows 7 theme featuring images of your favorite characters from Kung Fu Panda 2, a 3D movie by DreamWorks Animation in cinemas across the world this summer.”

There are no less than nine background images packed in the Windows 7 Kung Fu Panda 2 theme, but I still feel like it should have also included a sound scheme to kick up a notch the user experience.

Those already familiar with the Windows Personalization Gallery already know that Kung Fu Panda 2 is not the first animated movie to get a theme for Windows 7.

In fact, Softpedia readers have already been able to download a variety of theme packs celebrating animation work in Hollywood, including for such titles as: Rio, Rango, Megamind and Shrek Forever After.

Undoubtedly others will follow, especially considering the fact that Microsoft is allowing companies to use Windows 7 desktops around the world in order to push various brands to customers.
