Microsoft has launched a new "Personalize your PC" website for users testing out the Windows 7 beta. If you're on Windows 7, you can get to it directly from the operating system (Right click desktop > Personalize > Get more themes online). The site currently has 15 themes, 13 desktop backgrounds, 8 desktop gadgets, and 5 SideShow gadgets (only for Windows SideShow-compatible devices). That may not seem like much, but the message at the bottom of the site gives a little hope:

Information about Windows 7 is preliminary and subject to change. Themes and wallpapers provided during this beta release are for testing purposes only. A greater selection will be available at the time of final release of Windows 7.

It's nice, but there's only it's really not changing too much. You already know what I'm waiting for.

I don't get whats so special about the "Theme packs"
Its just a wallpaper that changes your transparecy a bit.
It would actually be quicker and easier to do it yourself ...

because MS has this habit of waiting to see what tech is generally popular, then integrating it (winzip anyone?) i am waiting for them to make themes open for all, thus killing off WB7.

not that i WANT to see WB killed off, i am just waiting for it to happen.

I would suspect Windows 7 will not allow unsigned themes for the same reason as it has never did. Regardless, WindowBlinds would always have a superior skin capability.
