Currently (February 2010) Vlad is featuring his Valentine creations, awww, and being of a romantic mood lately, I have added several of them to my collection. As if the free wallpapers aren’t enough, Vladstudio also offers Wallpaper Clocks (which work with Chameleon Clock from Softshape, a nifty but pricey little clock program that replaces the Windows tray clock), Online Jigsaw Puzzles as well as Puzzles for the iPhone (you can get 12 for free), adorable free E-Cards (any wallpaper can be sent as an e-card and some even have animation), Free Adobe Photoshop Tutorials, Themes for Blogs (for registered users), and much more. If you’ve got a minute or an hour or two, visit Vladstudio. It will be time well spent.

If you don't currently use Windows 7 then you probably don't know and don't need to know, but if you are a Windows 7 user and not familiar with the concept lemme give you the definition I gleaned from The Windows Club: A Theme Pack consists of four items: 1) Wallpaper with or without slideshows; 2) Window color; 3) Sounds; and 4) A screen saver (or not). I am uncertain how this works, but it does.If you would like to obtain free pre-made Theme Packs, go to the Windows 7 Personalization Gallery where you will have a choice of approximately 60 themes with more coming out on a regular basis (at least at the time of this publishing). If you prefer to create your own custom Themes check out the instructions at the Windows 7 website, The Windows Club, or my blog. |
