Themes for your Windows 7

Gotta love someone who goes around questioning people's intelligence when they don't know the difference between to and too

:D

Agreed. He lost whatever argument he thought he was engaging in quite some time ago.

Wow, 2 pages of discussion, and nobody's brought up what Microsoft's official terms are.

* Visual style: These are things like Aero, Royale, Classic, Luna, etc. These are system-defined entities that dictate the styling of windows and controls.

* Theme: Any combination of sounds, cursors, screensaver, wallpaper, and/or visual style constitute a theme. These are user-defined entities.

So by default, W7 uses the W7 theme consisting of the betta fish wallpaper, the default sound scheme, no screensaver, and Aero visual style with a blue tint.

If you don't think that fits the dictionary definition, then take it up with Microsoft. But that is what their official terminology is (well, paraphrased), and if you ever pay attention to their technical documents (e.g., the docs at MSDN that talk about Luna), you will see that they are quite careful about what they call a "theme" and what they call a "visual style".
