One of the cool things we got to see at the MS Ireland community launch of Windows 7 was the EDC guys\u2019 presentation on Windows 7 themes.\u00a0 MS are putting together region sensitive themes, e.g. you\u2019re in Ireland you get Irish wallpapers, in India you get Indian wallpapers, in South Africa you get South African wallpapers.\u00a0 Very cool.\u00a0 We all like to have wallpapers of our own so you can build your own theme.\u00a0 Some businesses want to deploy corporate themes; you can do that do.<\/p>\n
Creating the theme is easy.\u00a0 Get your images together and size them appropriately, e.g. 1920 * 1280 pixels at 96DPI, 24Bit Depth JPG\u2019s.\u00a0 You then need to customise your theme<\/a>.\u00a0 I set the wallpapers to fit and to randomly change every 15 minutes.\u00a0 Once you\u2019re done, right click on the theme and save it for sharing.\u00a0 That creates a file that you can share with friends or install on other machines.\u00a0 It contains all of the sounds and wallpapers you\u2019ve specified.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve created and shared<\/a> a theme based on my wildlife photography<\/a>.\u00a0 Tip: turn on the sound before you log out \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the cool things we got to see at the MS Ireland community launch of Windows 7 was the EDC guys\u2019 presentation on Windows 7 themes.\u00a0 MS are putting together region sensitive themes, e.g. you\u2019re in Ireland you get Irish wallpapers, in India you get Indian wallpapers, in South Africa you get South African … Continue reading “Building and Sharing a Windows 7 Theme”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9896","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-windows-desktop"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9896","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9896"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9896\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
