How can I make XP and Vista also use the Windows 7 theme package? [Fig.]

After the installation is completed, the program will run automatically. Click [Add] in the lower left corner to add a picture, then you can select the default style of the wallpaper. [Default Style] is Stretch, Center or Flat. Tile, which is the same as the wallpaper option that comes with the system. Of course, you can also set a separate style for a certain wallpaper through the right area, suitable for individual special size wallpapers.

The Change Wallpaper on the lower right side is the key object. You can choose how many minutes (or hours and seconds) to change. You can also set it to change only after each system startup. [Apply] makes the settings take effect.

Some theme packages may also include .wav system sound effects. Vista users will automatically import sound settings when they double-click the .theme file. XP users will need to manually copy these files to C:\\Windows. \\Media directory.

Similarly, if there are files such as .scr (screen saver) and .cur (mouse pointer) in the archive, you need to manually replace them:

Screen saver files need to be copied to C:\\Windows\\System32, then go to enable the screen saver;

Copy the mouse pointer file to C:\\Windows\\Cursors, then go to the mouse settings in the control panel

Windows 7 In terms of appearance, it can be said that the system theme is taken care of, even if it is not important system theme, just double-click a theme package of .themepack to change the theme, no need to crack any system files. There is also a nice feature that allows users to match their own system theme and share it with other Windows 7 users.

This makes the users who are still stuck on the XP or Vista platform more uncomfortable, but really there is no way? Not necessarily! Although XP and Vista systems can not directly identify the theme packs for Windows 7, But we have a workaround.

First of all, you need to get a Windows 7 special .themepack theme package (Windows 7 theme package download), then change the theme package suffix name to rar and extract it to any directory. You will see something like this:

Next depending on the system:

If you are using Vista and Aero The effect is already on, then double-click the .theme file in the folder, then go to the DesktopBackground folder and set the wallpaper inside to your current desktop background.

XP does not support Aero effects, then you can only use the wallpaper in the DesktopBackground folder as the background.

Windows 7 supports automatic wallpaper replacement, Vista and XP will not work, you need to use some third-party tools to achieve. If you only need basic timing changes, you can try this free tool: ScrollWall.

Use new pointer styles.

Well, after some hard work, the Windows 7 theme will be successfully ported to your current system, but the process is somewhat cumbersome. Whoever let us use Windows 7 is not.
