Microsoft is helping users running Windows 7, celebrate New Year’s Eve with a bang on their desktops.
The Redmond company has released a new theme packaging some amazing fireworks imagery to the Windows Personalization Gallery.
The Windows 7 Fireworks theme pack is the latest to be added to the gallery of personalization content this December, after the software giant introduced a number of themes designed to celebrate the season.
Ahead of Christmas this year, Jennifer Shepherd, site manager for the Windows Personalization Gallery promised that Windows 7 customers would get even more themes before 2011.
“Check back during the last few days of December for a theme designed to help you end 2010 with a bang!” she stated at the time.
And Microsoft lived up to the promise. There are now two new theme packs that can be downloaded immediately, Arctic and Fireworks.
Fireworks contains no less than 13 spectacular images of well, fireworks (no big surprise there, I guess), some of which come from different corners of the Earth.
Download the theme and install it in Windows 7 to see, among others images featuring fireworks above the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, Sydney, Australia; from Singapore; over the Tower Bridge, London, England, UK; at St. Basil's Cathedral, Moscow, Russia; over the Brooklyn Bridge, New York, USA; over Harbor of Shizuoka; above Cibeles Fountain on New Year's Eve, Madrid, Spain.
Some amazing wallpapers as I’ve already said, which are bound to make your Windows 7 desktop as festive as possible, although not really delivering the kick of the real thing.
Still, with New Year’s Eve just around the corner, you’re bound to watch some fireworks quite soon, as the world celebrates the beginning of 2011.
The Windows 7 Fireworks Theme is available for download here.
