The Windows Vista operating system is highly personalized. This means that the user can customize the appearance and layout of the operating system controls in full accordance with their tastes and preferences. One of the most powerful personalization tools is desktop themes. The theme is a set of backgrounds and desktop screensavers, system sounds, program shortcuts and folders, executed in the same style.

Instructions
Step 1
The easiest method to add themes is to install them from the Microsoft website. To do this, click anywhere on the screen with the right mouse button and select "Personalization" in the drop-down menu. In the window with themes, you will see a hyperlink "More topics on the Internet". Clicking on it will take you to the download page for Microsoft themes. However, the choice of topics there is very limited.
Step 2
In order to install an "unofficial" theme, you must first "unlock" the files that contain information about the installed themes. To do this, install and run the UXTheme Multi-Patcher utility, which will perform this operation.
Step 3
Then select and download the installation files of the themes you like. Run the file of the selected theme. Specify "C: WindowsResourcesThemes" in the installation path line. If the operating system is installed on a different logical drive, replace the C drive letter with the system drive letter.
Step 4
Wait for the installation to complete. Go to the "Personalization" menu and activate a new theme, which will be added to the list of existing ones.
Step 5
Many Windows theme sites offer different installation methods. This is due to the fact that developers "come up with" their own ways to add themes to Windows. Naturally, if instructions for installing it are attached to a specific topic, you must adhere to it.
