SELECTING A NEW DESKTOP THEME

Desktop themes are specific combinations of background wallpaper, colors, fonts, cursors, sounds, and screensavers all arranged around a specific look or topic. When you choose a new theme, the look and feel of your entire desktop changes. Windows's default theme is called Windows XP.

Right-click anywhere on the desktop to display a pop-up menu.

Select Properties from the pop-up menu; this opens the Display Properties dialog box.

Click the Themes tab.

Select a new theme from the Theme drop-down list; click OK when you're done.
