USA Today photos make a great Windows Theme...

Want proof? - I thought you might.....

Save these to a folder named DesktopBackground (all one word!) and put that folder into another one named USA Today-01. You may want to resize these to suit your own display's resolution, but try it as-is first. After you get the folder with the photos inside the one marked USA Today-01, then you are ready to put all that into your Windows Themes folder and get it activated as another of your slideshow-type themes. 

Before you do that, you may have to make sure you can see your AppData folder, so go to Control Panel > Folder options > View Tab > Hidden files and folders > Move the dot from "Hide" to the next line *Show hidden files, folders, and drives. Click on Apply, Click on OK, and you will now see your AppData folder when you go into your own user folder, which we're going to do now...

Now, to install that new Theme,  go to C:\Users\ your username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes, and drag and drop that newly created theme folder you named USA Today-01 into the Themes folder. Now, in the Themes folder, click on that new USA Today-01 folder, then click on the DesktopBackground one inside it, choose Select All from the task bar above it, then when all images are selected, right-click on any one of them and from the drop-down menu, choose "Set as desktop background". As soon as you click on that choice, you should see one of your new theme's images come up on screen. You can now close that window, or any others, and go onto your desktop itself, now showing one of your new theme's pictures, and right-click the screen to bring up the drop-down, on the bottom line of which you'll see "Personalize". Click on that to bring up your Windows Personalization window, and then you can configure your new theme just as you would any other of your Windows Themes. Enjoy your new theme! And of course, you can use this same method to make other themes of your own, using your pictures chosen from your files or from images on the web. Just remember to size those to fit your screen resolution so they'll look right when on there.

And I practice what I preach, so here's what it looks like in action...
