Last week Angry Birds hit the Windows Phone Marketplace, and to celebrate this momentous event we’ve got an Angry Birds Windows 7 theme too, just so your desktop won’t feel left out of the fun. The best thing about it is the hilarious bird-cackling, pig-grunting custom sound-scheme.
In case you prefer your birds less angry and more sleekly powerful, I’m proud to introduce the new Birds of Prey theme, which is a companion to the Beautiful Birds theme I published about a month ago. Falcons, hawks, kestrels, bald eagles, great horned owls, barn owls, snowy owls, and more bring their stern magnificence to this big 18-image theme.
But we aren’t done with the game themes yet! Gamers everywhere are anticipating the release of Age of Empires Online in mid-August. While you’re waiting, put yourself in a properly civilization-building, enemy-crushing frame of mind with the 14 wallpapers and the custom sound-scheme in the new Age of Empires Online Windows 7 theme. I love the audio: firing trebuchets, flying arrows, agitated horses, and other distinctively martial sound effects (and music) signal key Windows events.
In even more theming goodness for gamers, the Mabinogi theme brings the dreamy fantasy artwork of this popular online role-playing game to your desktop.
Kim Hana’s enigmatic paintings feature quirky but wistful characters in a sparely abstract world. This theme, coordinated by my teammate Jisung in Seoul, features seven of the Korean artist’s unique works.
Finally, changing gears with a roar, the new Ducati 2 theme (a sequel to the Ducati theme) contains nine dramatic wallpapers of powerful racetrack action and street style.
I hope these themes will help kick off your July with a fresh new look for your desktop. For more free Windows 7 themes, keep checking back on the Windows Personalization gallery. I add more almost every week.
Nice work guys.. gotta say my parents love the Irish Theme from St. Patricks day and will never give it up.. It would be nice if you guys did something for the beginning of summer
Hi, Lachliggity -- thanks for your comment! I have to admit I am especially proud and fond of the Ireland theme, so I am really glad to hear that your parents like it. What kind of themes would you like to see for summer? In the next few weeks we'll be publishing some great new art themes and a few themes featuring fantastic landscape and cityscape photography. If you have particular summery topics in mind, let me know!
Thanks for keeping the themes coming. I have been updating themes with the seasons and holidays so keep going. =0) Awesome.
Oh, by the way, I'm a fox fanatic so, if you need ideas, make one on red foxes or foxes in general. I'm also a Revolutionary War reenactor so a colonial era one would be great for lots of holiday and history buffs out there.
Just dreaming.
Yikes -- sorry I took so long to reply to your comment, Lorenzo! Thank you for the suggestions -- I am adding them to my list. I'm not quite sure how I'd do a Colonial era theme (I'll have to give that some thought), but a wildlife photography theme featuring foxes is totally doable.
