You can make your own themes for Windows 8 just as you did for Windows 7, and your favorite Windows 7 Themes work very nicely in Windows 8, which accepts them without complaint. Here's a video or two for those wanting to make a Theme. It's not all that difficult, and it can be a lot of fun, and you can use your own images of course, or any others that grab you.
Windows 8, I should add, runs the same sorts of older programs which ran in Windows 7, and it has a similar Compatibility Wizard to help you.
An old friend asked about graphics and photo-editing programs, and said his favorite version of Google's Picasa has been replaced by a newer one that no longer contains a feature of the older one that he really liked. There are one or two older 'legacy' versions available of Picasa, and you might like to have a look at what Google has to say here with download links.
If you'd like another freebie graphics program for photo-editing, etc., then there are a couple of good ones:-

http://www.getpaint.net/
Both of these I've used, and I usually have Irfan Skiljan's 'Irfanview' set as my default image-handling program, for use whenever I'm opening a photo file or etc., and both of these programs come with an assortment of plug-ins for added convenience features. The Paint.Net program is a modernized and vastly improved version of the old original Microsoft 'Paint' which Microsoft donated to
a group of graduate students at a university so that they could practice their skills upgrading and improving it. They did a wonderful job on it, and it has a wide variety of plug-ins now available for it to give it many additional capabilities and features. So if you'd like another good graphics program, you should have a look at both of these. They are both excellent programs.
