Windows Themes

Here’s an assortment of themes I’ve created over the years. Just download and open to apply it to your desktop. You can further adjust and customize your sounds, cursors, and color settings: just right-click your desktop wallpaper and choose Personalize.

Curious how these work?
A .themepack (or .deskthemepack) file is really just a .cab (Microsoft Cabinet file, similar to a ZIP) that has been renamed. If you rename the .themepack to .cab and double-click to browse it, inside you will find all the constituent components of the theme: all the sounds, wallpaper, cursors, and a .theme settings file.

Similarly, a .theme settings file is really just a .txt (text) file. Rename the .theme to .txt and double-click to open it in Notepad and view the raw details. When a theme file is opened, Windows reads these settings and applies them to the desktop.
