I can’t find the Ceske jaro (Czech Spring) one on the site?

@Andy – The Ceske jaro (Czech Spring) theme is only available through Softpedia using the link provided at the end of the article. ^__^
Just curious. Are there any other legitmate places to get Windows 7 themes besides Microsoft? When I do a search for “Windows 7 Themes”, I get all kinds of questionable site results.
@Wayne – One place that I would recommend is Softpedia…that is where I found the Ceske jaro (Czech Spring) theme at. ^__^
Here is a direct link for their “Themes Area Listing”:

Using that you should be able to find all kinds of nice stuff. ^__^
Thanks Asian Angel. I’ll check it out.

How do you animate your desktop in windows 7, I have seen it previously however I cannot remember how to do it.. Do you have to download something special to animate your desktop. Such as a waterfall?
