In Windows 8, you can use the theme to help make the desktop more style. The theme can change the desktop background, window border color, sound and screen saver on your computer at the same time. You can switch the theme at any time as needed. You can also create custom themes and share them with friends and family.
What is a theme?
A theme is a combination of pictures, colors, and sounds. Topics include:
Parts of the theme
Desktop background. Provide a background image, color, or design for the window that is open on the desktop. The desktop background can be a single picture or a slide show. You can choose the desktop background image that comes with Windows, or you can use your own image.
The color of the window border. The color of the window border and the taskbar. The theme can contain a specific window border color, or you can automatically select a color based on the color in the desktop background image.
Sound. A collection of related sounds that are heard when an event occurs on the computer. An event may be an action you perform, such as logging in to your computer or possibly performing operations on your computer, such as letting you know when you receive a new email.
Screen saver. A moving picture or pattern displayed on the computer screen after a certain period of time without using the mouse or keyboard. The screen saver is disabled in the theme that comes with Windows, but you can enable and add a screen saver to the theme.
You can find all of your themes in the "Personalization" in “Control Panel”. Click or click on any topic to apply it to your desktop.
Open “Personalization by: swipe in from the right edge of the screen and click "Search" (If you use the mouse, point to the top right corner of the screen and then point the pointer down Move, click “search”), type “personalize" in the search box, and then click or click “Set" & "Personalize".
There are four types of themes in "Personalization" in “Control Panel”.
My theme. The theme you created, changed, saved, or downloaded. As soon as you make changes to the theme, these new settings appear here as an unsaved theme.
Windows default theme. You can use the Windows theme to personalize your computer. Most themes include a desktop background slide show.
The theme of the installation. A theme created by your computer manufacturer or other non-Microsoft provider.
High contrast theme. Make the items on the screen easier to see. High-contrast themes do not include automatic window border colors or desktop background slide shows.
