Windows 7 Online

Today is the big day and Microsoft is doing everything to promote their new operating system as much as possible. One of those promotional efforts is a truckload of new themes for the operating system. Remember the Windows 7 Ferrari theme that we reviewed a while ago? Seems that it was just one of many sponsored themes to come. If you visit the personalization website over at the Windows website you notice that Microsoft has added fourteen (for the US, less in other countries) additional sponsored themes from Gears of War to Porsche and Ducati, Coca Cola and Pepsi. Each theme comes in the new theme format that Microsoft introduced in Windows 7 which makes it possible to install the themes with a double-click once they have been downloaded to the computer system.

The 20 available international themes are available on the very same page. It does not look like if new ones have been added to the list yet. The themes that are offered on the website are easy to produce and not “full themes”. I prefer to call them light themes as they only change some elements of the computer desk opposed to third party themes in Windows XP or Windows Vista which could change additional elements (like buttons) in the operating system. You can check out our how to create custom themes in Windows 7 to find out how you can create your own light theme in Windows 7.
