It includes most of the official Ubuntu wallpapers and it was tailored to replicate Ubuntu’s colors and sounds in Windows. It really looks beautiful and you should try it out.

One of the differences about Windows 8 is that its themes are not compatible with Windows 7. The extension with which they are saved is different, as well as the way they are packaged. Therefore you cannot copy and paste a theme from one operating system to another.

A picture is worth a thousand words they say. But a good image is more than that, it creates a different world in which you get lost, with characters for whom you fall in love. This is the feeling that you get from viewing Andreea Retinschi’s photos.

I’m pretty sure there are plenty of people using typed commands to start tools, run scripts or administrative tasks in Windows, instead of using the mouse. For them, the Command Prompt and the Run window are really useful. However, if the Command Prompt will always be useful, no matter how user interfaces evolve, does it make sense to still use the Run window? Here’s what I think and I’m hoping you agree with me.

Have you ever wondered why do we call them screen savers? Do they really save our screens? We’ve done a bit of research and found out that, due to changes in monitor technology, the term screen saver has become a misnomer in recent years. Let’s see why.

The busy city life usually makes us oblivious to the beauty of the architecture around us. In today’s article we propose to you a portrait of the city, as David Gutierrez sees it through his lens.

In a previous tutorial, we have shown how easy it is to use Windows Live Photo Gallery 2011 to create a slideshow as a screensaver. The same is possible with the free image viewer application named Irfanview.
