Officially Download Themes For Windows 8.1 from Microsoft [How To]
Slideshow feature was before introduced by Microsoft in Windows 7 that exists in Windows 8.1 too. It gives you a better experience in personalizing different desktop themes. It is obvious that you would not like to stare the same old desktop theme and you want something new. You can get a range of wonderful themes for Windows 8.1 to give a new touch and amazing look to the desktop of your Windows. You cannot only change its background easily, but also can make some changes in taskbar color, the screen saver and sound scheme and even the window border color can be changed.
Although, Microsoft introduced the theme pack in Windows 7, but these theme packs are fully supported by Windows 8.1. You just need to download and install theme pack to apply it on your desktop. It is highly recommended to download themes from the official site of Microsoft where you will find the Windows personalization gallery containing these amazing themes. Some users download them from other websites that are lesser known and these themes do not have high resolution wallpapers. As a result they do not give the required display result.
