How to get Free Windows 7 Themes

Windows 7 is a massive enhancement over Windows Vista
and Windows XP. There are so many new features and services provided to the common user as well as the power user that most of us are running out of reasons for why we do not have Windows 7. One of the most visible changes that are present in Windows 7 is the Windows 7 themes. In Windows XP, one had to tweak the files in order to install Windows XP Themes. Of course, there used to be free themes available for Windows XP themes via Microsoft, but their release were awry once in a blue moon.

Microsoft seems to have decided to get it right with Windows 7 even before they launched the beta version of Windows. There are a number of inbuilt Windows 7 themes, complete with backgrounds, music and voice files, which one can access by rightclicking their desktop
and selecting Personalize. The user is immediately taken to the various themes that are installed on their machine, which are differentiated into Aero Themes, High Contrast Themes and My Themes, which are basically the themes that the user has downloaded and installed via the Internet.

Aero themes are the themes which make use of the Aero technology, which basically spruces up the Window Graphical user experience, and I would seriously recommend you to use Aero if you have the graphical prowess to run Windows 7 with Aero.

Apart from the preinstalled Windows 7 themes, you can get several Windows themes from the Windows site itself. Windows offers themes like Coca Cola Windows 7 theme, Ducati Windows 7 Theme, Ferrari Windows 7 theme, etc. All you have to do is to download these themes, which are available in a self executable format, which means that you just need to click on the file and the theme is installed into your themes folder.

If you wish for more Windows 7 themes, you can always run a search in your favorite search engine and you will be introduced to the vast number of websites that offer Windows 7 themes. However, be careful while browsing through these sites, as some of them may not actually offer you free themes, but have some hidden costs that you will be informed about when you are just about to install the theme on your machine. Of course, there are several websites that genuinely offer free Windows 7 themes, and because Windows got the graphics part of their operating system right this time, these themes are a joy to install and use.

However, because Windows itself offers so many themes, you might not feel the need to search for any more themes on the Internet at all. Windows also offers region related themes like China Themes, America Theme, India theme, etc.
While downloading the free themes from the non Microsoft websites, make sure that you have a good antivirus installed, so that you are informed of any malicious software that may be installed along with the themes that are installed by the suspicious looking websites.
