Choosing a theme

The themes listed in the Personalization window display a preview of the desktop background pictures and the window color for each theme. Each Aero theme contains multiple pictures. When you select an Aero theme, the default is to show all the pictures in the theme as a slide show so that the picture changes to another picture within the theme every 30 minutes. This means you'll have a new desktop background every 30 minutes.

To choose a theme, scroll the themes list as needed, and then click a theme. Windows will automatically apply the theme you selected. The Personalization window stays open, so if you don't like the theme you just chose or you want to check the other themes, you can easily change it again.
