When you download my theme you have a choice between hitting "RUN" or "SAVE". This is the standard windows dialog box for downloading files from websites. "RUN" always means "download and install this software." "SAVE" always means "save this file and let me install it later." My download and my theme adhere to windows standards and best practices. Also, it's just a theme and if you don't like it just delete it.

Hey Gary, where are all the photos stored by version - I recall having provided one and don't even know if you used it or what version it's included in.
I think everyone would like to see the photos before installing. This brings to mind the method of install. Typically one is offered an option to cancel before install - in this case it would have been good avoid the possible concern some of us might have with seeing our desktops immediately change without any forewarning whatsoever.
Also though, if I had not saved my desktop as a template, and if I was not a savy PC user, I might not have been able to readily reset my settings by simply choosing my previous template/settings. Just sayin.....
Is there a way to step through the photos after the install - didn't spend much time looking, but in any case, didn't find it?

I pretty much stick to my own theme but I may download your Corvette theme to checkout later. Your time and efforts are greatly appreciated. It was nice of you to create the Corvette themes and make them available to forum members.
Perhaps for those who don't fully understand what a theme entails (as opposed to a mere screensaver) they should look to Help and Support and type-in the word theme. You'll get a better understanding of exactly what a theme is and how to manage various themes in Windows 7.

I'm hardly ignorant but I am pretty much in bliss now. I'm just glad I don't worry about someone's little "project" like yours screwing my machine up cause it just never happens anymore. BTW, I worked on PCs since the early eighties, how about you?

As long as we're bragging about computer experience, in 1963 I was programming early IBM's using 20 lb plug in boards and 12 gauge jumpers. Come a long way since then.
Assembler, Fortran, Cobol, Pascal, Algol, oh, and about 700k lines of dBase, db2 and not to mention troubleshooting hardware and software, building, installing and repairing at all levels.
Getting tired just thinking about it.
Forgot to say, I like the theme.............

You can learn about me at www.deanblakely.com. Ever play that game called "what were you doing when JFK was shot". On that day in 1963 I was teaching a computer programming class at Orange Coast College in California. I must admit, however, I was a "student teacher". I've been writing software since 1961. Still doing it.
Your flame was actually very polite. thanks
