My mother recently purchased a new Dell desktop, and well, the OEM theme they ship it with just looks GREAT… see below!
Dell OEM Windows 7 Theme
Sure you might argue that their theme is only a background wallpaper, but I wanted to extract the theme entirely rather than just give you a wallpaper.
So really all you need to do is download and extract the theme below to:
%USERPROFILE%AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsThemes
You can access this folder by putting it into your location bar, like this, then press enter.
Then right click your desktop, and go to “Personalize” and choose your new Dell theme! It’s that simple.

Here’s the download link:

Enjoy!

Just wanted to display my theme. I wanted something simple, not too over the top like most themers are out there. I wanted to stay away from custom icons as well… everytime a new app gets released you’ll have one icon set, and then one app w/out a special icon… it looks lame, and is lame.
As you can see it’s very simple, yet customized. Default icons for everything, but a new dock, and obviously a new wallpaper. Got rid of the AT&T carrier in the status bar, as well as the clock, since I added the clock to my home screen. Organized everything with folders, and added status notifications as well on the top status bar, you can see the email one as an example next to the battery.
Further customizations are to come in the future for sure, but at this point in time I like this.
I MAY consider doing a full custom theme with icons, and just keep every app in folders? That way they would have their own respective icons like normal, but just be inside the categories folder?
