Making your own Themes - hints

If you'd like a fairly plain and simple slide show type background theme in Win-8 (or Win-7) you can simply make a series of plain backgrounds which are sized to your monitor's resolution ( mine is 1680 by 1050), give them each a different color, and then when you install that as a Theme, instead of choosing only one color for the taskbar and window-frames coloring, set it on the automatic color chooser. It then picks a compatible color for each of your different background selections, so the finished result is color co-ordinated.


Here's one background in the series.

 
This is the complete series of backgrounds.
Add or remove individual ones by checking
or unchecking in its upper left corner.
 
 
This is the color selector for the taskbar
and the frames of windows.
The multicolored one upper row, left end,
is the automatic selector choice.
- Have fun! -
