A windows 7 theme for your desktop containing my Pleo backgrounds (excepting a couple of seasonal ones), these are optimized for a 1024 x 768 screen resolution, if you have a widescreen like myself you may notice some of the writing is cut off on a couple of pictures.
You can download the file here (45 meg): http://www.mediafire.com/file/ziqevwjz2qz/InmemoryofRomeo-Pleo.zip
To use please unzip the file to a safe location and double click the themepack file to install :)

Totally SWEET imr! Thank you! Question though, I have Windows 7 Starter, and on a 10 inch screen ( .254 meters )
Will it still work?

Oooh, I love it! Thank you IMR. So many fun pictures of Pleos, all collected together. And the colour selection's a perfect complement to the images. I set my background to fit instead of fill which seems to work quite well for most of them.

Gucci it will still work :) The pictures will be adjusted for your screen :)
Shadowmice that's a good idea :) Glad you liked the download :)

Help!!!

I was afraid of that when I saw you had Windows 7 Starter. :( I had read in some tech articles that the Starter edition of Windows does not allow the simple basic of changing your background but couldn't believe they would cripple something that seems so fundamental for personalizing a machine. ??? Seems to be a stupid limitation. :P Not sure if there are any workarounds available out there yet or not; I tried quick google and found a reference to an Oceanis application that can be used to change your backgrounds, but I don't think it will enable full theme support.

Aww that stinks Gucci, I have a friend with windows starter though who uses my backgrounds so I will contact them and find out what they did to get it to run.
Edit, ok a quick phonecall and he sent me this link :) http://www.instructables.com/id/Windows-7-Starter-Easy-way-to-change-wallpaper/

Tsk, tsk yep I knew I would have to make things difficult. When purchasing my laptop, I had no idea there was a difference in Windows 7 or a Windows 7 Starter Edition. Yes, it is somewhat difficult, and they only thing I did notice is the lack of changing wallpapers seems to be a stinker. Thanks for the research Shadowmice, I've had Oceanis, which works pretty good and that's what made me assume I should get IMR's backgrounds. Thanks all the same. Now I am trying the link provided by IMR. To set the record, my computer is running both softwares, will it make any difference?
I am sorry, but even after following the instructions, I am lost. Gawd, to be un-tech savvy!!
