Windows Vista
Themes
After acquiring Windows Vista and all of the necessary tools to create your
virtual masterpiece, its time to start thinking about themes.
Themes for your Dreamscenes on vista range from nature scenes to your favorite
vehicles to everything in between. Themes are typically created around one
certain interest and then multiple additions in relation to the theme.
A theme is referred to as a group of settings such as background images,
different colors, screen savers, cool icons and graphics. With Vista, when the
theme is applied it transforms your desktop into a whole new glassy hi tech
look. The theme also modifies the task bar, the window title bars, the start
menu and buttons. Change in sound related to the theme adds even more character
to the scenery.
The sky is the limit and anything that you can imagine, there is most likely a
theme you can create for it. Personalization and
individuality should be some of the biggest features in choosing your theme. The
fun in theme design is that you can change it every day if you wanted to, just
to suit your mood. You can create your own theme with
Stardock and Object desktop. These programs allow you to design and build a
custom theme using design elements already available within the software.
Windowblinds is also a great program for creating your own theme.
There are computer gurus on the web that can create a specialized theme for your
computer, generally all you have to do is ask.
Some of the top themes available out there now are drawn from old XP theme
databases and just tweaked out with the help of Vista’s star catching graphics.
The Vista Green Style is a bright sky background with blades of deep
green wavy grass taking center stage on the screen. Earthy tones are highlighted
as the theme for this Style. AlienwareXenomorph is a
Sci-Fi style theme. Sporting black and silver tones with alien and spaceship
icons, this is defiantly a different theme sure to please the Sci-fi enthusiast.
Need some ideas for some themes you can create on your own? Why not try looking
into what your hobbies are. If you like Pugs, then create a dog theme, maybe
create some paw prints for the icons, or even a dog leash or collar for the
toolbars.
Love the beach? Beach themes are very popular right now. There are several beach
pictures on the web available for download, or why not try uploading your
vacation pictures to your Stardock software and implement them into your theme.
Seashells could be used for icons and task buttons, Sea glass even would be
pretty to highlight the different windows. Try using sand for the toolbars.
Maybe cars is your passion, why not upload your favorite car to your
themed software, like say a Mustang, you could have little steering wheels for
the icons, you could even download a MIDI file of an engine revving for the
sound. Or maybe you are into
International recipes and cooking in general.
What about creating a cooking and reciepe theme.
The possibilities are endless. If you cant find what you want on the web, look
no further than your own collection of pictures and sounds. Creativity is what
makes each theme unique.
