The "Personalization Windows" contains various themes. A theme consists of a background image, window color, sounds and screen saver, but you can customize a theme's default settings. The first group of theme's (AERO) provides nice background images from which to choose.
Double click a theme to select it. If you don't want to make any changes, exit from the window. Windows will cycle through the images in a theme if your PC is on AC power, but not on battery power unless you change the default setting (Discussed Below).

Click Desktop Background at the bottom of the windows. Notice on the "Choose your desktop background" window that all of the images in your theme are seleted. Click on an image and it will display as your background.

On the "Choose your desktop background" window, you have other options. You may:-
1- Change the Picture position. This option tells Windows 7 how to place the image on the desktop. For a Windows-supplied background, you may wish to stay with the default of fill. Otherwise, click the down arrow and choose from Fit, Stretch, Tile or Center.
2- Change the interval time between multiple images in a theme by clicking the down arrow by "Change picture every" and selecting a new value. The default value is 30 minutes on most systems.
3- Ask Windows to Shuffle the images instead of displaying them in order by putting a checkmark in the box next to Shuffle.
4- Select your own image to display as a background picture. Click Browse at the top, click on your image, and click OK. Your image should have approximately the same height-width ratio as your monitor if you want it to fill the entire destop without distortion .
5- Don't forget to click Save As before leaving the ''Choose your desktop background'' window. After saving your changes, you are returned to the "Personalization Window" .Your theme has been placed in the "My Themes" section. Click save theme if you wish to name your theme.
