Compatible With You

A cluttered Windows desktop is like a cluttered desk—it can make it harder to focus on the task at hand. When you start using Windows 7, you’ll immediately notice its clean and uncluttered appearance. For example, the Notification Area in the lower-right corner displays only four icons by default. New icons don’t appear automatically when you install programs. Instead, you control what gets placed where, so your desktop stays clean and reflects your personal preferences. Of course, you may want to change the desktop and add or delete gadgets and desktop themes. With Windows 7, you’ll find more options than ever.

Aero Themes and Aero Background

Windows 7 comes with many new themes, so you’ll have more options for making your PC reflect your personal taste. Each theme includes rich backgrounds, glass colors, and a unique sound scheme. You can download new themes, create

your own unique themes, and share your themes with friends and family. And within any theme, you’ll have 16 glass color options to choose from instead of the eight options that are included with Windows Vista. Windows 7 also includes some themes that are customized for specific regions of the world.
