Wouldn't "Wallpaper Packs" be a more apt description?

Asking an honest question here, not trying to troll. I don't see anything listed here other than Wallpapers. I came in here expecting to see visual styles, as those are actual themes.

scowl,

"themepack" is just a name of the file format. It is defined by MS, not by me :)

Windows 7 supports new features including the Desktop Background Slide Show. Unrecognized sections of .theme files are ignored by previous versions of the operating system. A new file format, .themepack, has also been introduced with Windows 7 to help users share themes.

via MSDN

That's why i use it as thread name.

I see you keep putting up the themes, but keep ignoring my request, which is still the wallpapers. So yeah, going into week 3 now. Anytime would be nice.

Because I am unable to download them all at once from the PC I post new themes. My traffic is limited. I wait for a moment when I will be @another place to download everything from skydrive, and then upload images only to file hosting.

Dude! This guy has limited bandwidth, limited time, and offered to do you, a person he doesn't even know, a favor. Why don't you show the proper attitude towards someone who is offering to do you a favor for nothing in return?

Pro tip: He doesn't owe you a thing.
