Jacksonville Florida Sunrise Windows 7 Theme

By Richard Hay, on August 21st, 2009

Windows 7 really does let you do things your way and the customization of the desktop is one of those features. Once you have a theme and style set up then you can easily share it with family and friends all over the world.

My fellow Microsoft Clubhouse Blogger, @technogranma, wrote a great How To article back in May of this year on Creating Your Own Themes with Windows 7. Since she did such a good job with that I am going to leave the instructions on how to do this to her and get straight to the sharing part.

A Jacksonville, Florida Sunrise

I was on my way to work this morning and came across the most awesome and vivid sunrise I had seen in quite a while. Luckily I had my Olympus SP-565 Ultra Zoom camera in the truck and pulled over to snap a few shots.

Using Windows 7’s Save theme for sharing option I created this desktop pictured below and saved it as a .themepack file so that I could share it with you.

I think it is an awesome shot but then I am a little biased. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy sharing it.

Thanks for the mention and I agree its a great picture! Now how about taking some more awesome sky shots (such as lightening, or sunrise, sunset etc) and combining them into a Slideshow theme? Will download yours to try it out.
What we REALLY need now is a page entirely devoted to Windows 7 themes that other users have made. Once it launches I can see there being loads and loads! then users can just browse them all, and download the ones they prefer
