Dear Mr. Microsoft:
Please update your information which says that Windows 7 Themes can only be used in Windows 7. Please take a peek in the lower right corner to confirm that this is Windows 8 I'm running this excellent theme Castles of Europe in, and it's
working perfectly - just like in Windows 7. For those of you who would like one, you can find it in Microsoft's Windows 7 Themes, and there's 21 images in this theme, and they are all quite impressive. I'm tempted to ask how some of these managed to survive those thousand-bomber air raids during the Second World War, but obviously, they must have. My only beef about it if I had to have one would be that there could have been a better picture of that wonderful castle in
Bavaria, which inspired the Walt Disney folks when they built their own castle.
I'm speaking of course of the famous Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, and here is the shot your theme should have used. Now this is a castle!
Your image shows the mountains very nicely, but not the castle to best advantage, and this theme is about castles, after all.....
In that second picture I hope you keen-eyed observers noticed the people on the balcony on the first floor near the middle of it.
Ray,
ReplyDeleteI've heard they are drafty and a bitch to heat in the Winter.
Getting up and down the driveway with the Mercedes can be a problem too, but the skiing is right in the back yard.
ReplyDeleteRight in Schwangau, the village of the King’s Castles Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau (Hohenschwangau vacation rentals | Hohenschwangau travel guide) is the wintersport arena Tegelberg with its cable car, 4 regular lifts and flood light at night. You will enjoy 7.3 kilometres of downhill piste here as well as a separate one for tobogganing. This place is great to for beginners and intermediate skiers, has a ski school and a ski/snowboard rental facilities. A special highlight is the 2km long Neuschwanstein Cross Country Skiing Track which is lit at night.
