This is for most of you who have taken Windows 7 beta for a spin. It’s been awhile since I’ve been using new OS and naturally I’m quite impressed with its technicalities. What took me for a while was the Windows 7 theme packs. The default one offers a clear glass color, Windows default sound scheme and the Windows Logo screen-saver. The Landscape light aura and Nature are charming but I was still looking for more. I got hold of some more themes, but in the hidden & locked themes. Now the question is how do I unlock the pandora’s box.
At first sight it was like a Monty Hall puzzle that could take my head, but then with a bit things were simplified beyond expectation.
It was pretty simple. Here’s what you need to do
Step 1
Open the Explorer (Windows + E) and go to C:\Windows\winsxs
Step 2
Enter *.theme into the search field. Alternately you can use the * sign on the number block.
Step 3
You’ll get the Click me prompt
Step 4
Double-click the themes ZA, US, GB, CA, AU to install them.
Bingo! you have gotta 5 cool themes for your Windows 7. Let me know if you had any troubles doing this.
