    The photographs in the Windows 7 UK theme that came with my new laptop (delivered yesterday) are completely different from the ones you show above. Are there two different UK themes?

    Hi Carlo - which do you have then?

    There are 2 different themes for the uk  depending on your version of windows 7.  If you have professional, you will have the 'aero' theme (right click on desktop and select personalize) but you can download the standard uk theme by clicking on 'get mor themes online'.  

    But that still doesn't answer your question.  Obviously in the theme there is Stonehenge, The Tower Bridge and the white cliffs.  The other three I have no Idea of, Sorry :(

    Correction,

    There are 3 uk themes.

    The two non-aero themes are here:

    right mouse button on desktop click personolize.

    then click united kingdom themes.

    then click desktop background slide show. it opens up a window with the 6 pictures from the theme. hover over the picture with the mouse and it tells you all the details etc.

    hope this helps.

    Kris.

    Hi,

    I would like to know what that picture shows in an aero theme. Its an huge rock or island with a castle or something of that sort on the top and the ocean behind it.

    thank you!
