Creating a personalized Windows 7 system

From the Vista era, Windows ' Aero features have made the overall style of the system more ornate, as are windows 7. If you're not familiar with Windows 7 Landscaping, follow this article today for a preliminary understanding of Windows 7 landscaping.

First, change the login interface

Landscaping from the start! Are you tired of the Windows 7 blue background of the login interface, today we use win7logonbackgroundchanger this small green software to replace your favorite Picture it.

When you open the software, click the Select Directory and select the folder where you want your favorite pictures to reside. Choose your favorite picture and click "Apply". Of course, we can also click "Settings" to increase the effect of the shadow.

Second, change more style theme

Currently, the topic of Windows is divided into two main categories, one is Visual Style (VS) and the other is WindowBlinds (WB). Microsoft's own theme is a VS-style, and WB is the Stardock company, Microsoft's only certified Third-party theme-Aided landscaping software.

The WB theme is more varied in style than vs., but the WindowBlinds software needs to be installed first. In fact, it's now up to Windows 7 o'clock. The customization of the topic is much more than XP, with many excellent vs themes and no additional third-party software to install. So today it's mainly about the use of the VS theme.

Windows 7 itself brings some themes, we can right-click the desktop, click "Personalized", choose your favorite style. Click on "Window Color", we can replace the default blue, through the "Enable transparency effect" and color concentration adjustment, we can change the taskbar and window to their favorite color.

But only changing the color does not meet our needs, at this time we can download some of the likes of the VS theme, such as The imitation of the Mac style of the theme is to the windows of the interface to create close to the MAC system style. But because it is using a third party visual style theme, we first use the Universalthemepatcher software to crack the three DLL files associated with the topic.

Then you can install the theme we like. If the theme of the download is "subject name. Themepack", then we can double-click it to use it directly. If the suffix is "xxx.theme" plus the "XXX" folder with the same name, you need to put the two things under the X:windowsresourcesthemes folder (x is the system letter), and then double-click "Xxx.theme" to apply the theme.

Third, the button icon needs to be modified

The Windows 7 default Blue Start button is a bit monotonous and may not match the segmentation of the topic you are using, such as The Imitation Mac theme I use does not match this button, and we can use the Windows 7 Start button changer to replace it. First find a favorite style of the Start button, such as this apple style.

Four, Win7 Desktop Dock tool

One of the biggest features of the MAC system is its ornate dock. Of course in Windows 7 we can do this with some dock software. Here is Rocketdock, which takes up very little CPU resources and memory, so it can be used even if the configuration is not particularly good.

After opening the RocketDock.exe it comes with a set of icons and default styles, which we can replace manually with our favorite styles and icons. Right-click anywhere on the bottom, choose Program Settings, and then click "Style"-"theme"-and choose your favorite theme (this is primarily used to replace the style of the icon base). Click "Get more" next to, we will be able to download more topics from Rocketdock's official web site, download the theme with the folder under the Rocketdockskins directory, this time we can be replaced from the options just now.

Drag any shortcut to the base, right-click the icon, and click "icon Settings" to replace the icon you like. For example, this is the ultimate effect I do.

Of course, the position of the base can not only be at the bottom, up and down, everyone can be modified according to their preferences. Rocketdock also has a lot of cool plug-ins, to help us achieve some very flashy effects, such as the use of this Stackdocklet plugin we can display the following shortcut effect.

Today is just a preliminary understanding of Windows 7 Landscaping, and there are more places we can beautify, such as modifying the skin of the software and using more advanced landscaping tools like Rainmeter and so on. I hope this article can open a door for friends who are interested in landscaping, let us make our own system more beautiful.
