Default theme and wallpaper

Hi all

 

I am a newbie to this forum.  Hope you wouldnt mind if I raise any stupid question :smileyhappy:

 

I remember when I first used the Touchsmart, there was a default theme and wallpaper.  But I changed it few weeks ago and I can't find it anymore.  Could anyone gimme some idea where they are, please?  Thanks in advance.

Re: Default theme and wallpaper

Hi mate, thanks for the advise.  But I tried and I dont see any other theme or wallpaper I could choose except the one Im using currently.  Would you specific the path as much as you could, please?  Im not very familiar with window vista.  Thanks.

Re: Default theme and wallpaper

Hello,

I assume you are looking for the TouchSmart wall paper?  You can find it under Personalization and Desktop Background.  Change the Location to Windows Wallpapers.  Then scroll down to Unspecified and you should see lots of cool designs.

Re: Default theme and wallpaper

Default for TouchSmart is Aero. Right-click the Windows desktop, select Personalize, click Windows Color and Appearance, click Open Classic..., select Windows Aero from the list, and then click OK. Ta-da.

 

Windows Aero theme

Re: HP's wallpapers and desktop background

Does HP have download area for HP-related wallpapers/desktop backgrounds? I bought an HP notebook PC three months ago but had to return it because of software/hardware issues. i have a new HP laptop, same brand. However, i realized that the HP wallpaper (or desktop background) which i liked is not on the new PC. Is there an areas in HP that I can go to download HP sample wallpapers/downloads that it uploads on HP's computers? If so, i will appreciate the links where these can be downloaded.

 

Thanks,

 

JJO

Re: HP's wallpapers and desktop background

No DL area, but if you do a simple search for HP wallparer on google images it turns up a lot of results.
