Did you know that you can use a desktop theme to personalize the appearance of windows? Each desktop theme contains several coordinated items, including a desktop background, screen saver, colors, sounds, mouse pointers, icons and fonts. Here's the way to spice up your desktop!
Right-click a blank area on your desktop and a menu appears. Click "Properties" and the "Display Properties" dialog box appears. Click the "Themes" tab, and click in the search box under the word "Theme" to display a list of the available desktop themes and click the desktop theme you want to use. The center display area will now show you a preview of the desktop theme you selected. Click "OK" to confirm your change and windows will apply the theme you selected. To return to the original theme proceed as above but select the theme you were originally using.
Themes available are usually shown with names such as "My Current Theme", "Windows Classic" and "More themes online". You can use this last option to find additional themes on the Internet. The Microsoft Internet Explorer window will display a web page that allows you to obtain additional themes, or you can find themes using a traditional web search engine like Google, for instance. If you make any changes to any theme, such as changing the desktop background, a new theme appears with the word "Modified" in it's name. You can rename this "Modified" theme to any name of your choosing.
Have some fun with this one and see what you can come up with!
