14 DAY TRIAL // Windows 7 users have a wide range of personalization options available for them, the most appealing of which involves downloading and installing of themes for their PCs.
Some new themes are now available for those who are into changing the looks of their desktop to fit their mood or the outside weather.
Depending on the chosen theme, they will also benefit from new system sounds, a welcomed change at some times, that’s for sure.
One of the new themes available for Windows 7 (though it should work with Windows 8 Developer Preview as well, that’s for sure), comes from photographer David S. Sommers and features close-up images of various geological specimens.
The colors of these close-ups of polished agate, jasper, and other rocks will bring into your mind worlds outside this earth, or fantastic abstract paintings, Microsoft explains.
For those who would rather dream of the open, there is a waterfalls theme available for download, with lots of open spaces to enjoy, and with some other benefits as well.
“Gurgling canyon creeks, rushing mountain streams, and cascading, terraced rivers: Waterfalls in all their glorious diversity are featured in this free theme for Windows 7,” Microsoft explains.
For those who would rather stay indoors but still want a taste of nature, there are lots of fruits to enjoy, also in the form of a theme for their desktop PCs.
“Glistening grapes, blueberries shimmering with delicate droplets of water, lemons as bright as the sun, pomegranates gleaming with vitamins and antioxidants. You want fruit. You want this fruit. Get it free for your Windows 7 desktop,” the theme’s description reads.
And there is also a theme fit for the holiday season, the Candlelight theme, bringing to your PC’s desktop the simplicity of a meditation retreat, for example.
“These serene images of candlelight evoke mystery and warmth in a variety of settings, from the coziness of a fireplace mantel to the spare simplicity of a meditation retreat. Illuminate the wintry gloom by adding this free Windows 7 theme to your desktop,” Microsoft says.
