Just like Windows 7, Vista and XP, Windows 8 comes with several customization options, including support for themes downloadable either from Microsoft or from other online galleries.
The only difference is that all themes aimed specifically at Windows 8 computers come in a new format as compared to those developed for the previous versions of the operating system.
Windows 8 themes adopted the .deskthemepack format, while Windows 7 and all the other predecessors use the .themepack extension.
Well, Digital Inspiration has found a way to use all Windows 8 themes on a previous Windows version without too much effort. It all comes down to a file compression tool that can extract the theme contents.
Here’s what you have to do (it all requires basic computer knowledge):
First of all, download the Windows 8 theme on your computer. As we told you, it uses the .deskthemepack format, so double-clicking it has no result. Make sure Windows is configured to show file extensions, right-click the theme file and hit the “Rename” option. Write down “.7z” and save the modifications.
Next, you need to install 7-Zip, a freeware archive utility that can handle most archive formats on the market
