Castle Windows
« on: January 24, 2012, 10:22:02 PM »
For anyone using Windows, I recommend the Castles of Europe theme. Perty cool pictures.

One of the things I really like about Windows 7 is the ability to set an entire folder as your background, and it will cycle through the pictures.  I haven't played with the built in themes too much after discovering that.

Physics, I was unaware you could do that.  I should probably not let Wifey know that lest she set up a folder with all of our children's pics as a background.

Thanks for hte Castles theme.  My girls, who are into the whole princess thing right now, will love it. :)

If you download a theme from Windows, you can pull the photos out and put them in a folder, or add them to a folder with other wallpapers. Go to C:/Users/[account_name]/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Themes/Castles of Europe/DesktopBackground.

BTW, my prediction that my daughters would like the Castles theme was correct.  Thing1 loves it.

Chris, what are you trying to imply about my tastes?  :mad:  I'm going to go watch some Dora. That usually cheers me up.
