If you've made it this far, congratulations. You can get off the train if you'd like. Maybe you're happy with the setup you've managed to create. That's completely fine. But if you're looking to go the one last step in customizing the overall theme of your computer, let us begin.
First, let me explain what we will be doing. We're going to change some of your system components to allow custom themes. This will let us alter the shell that windows runs in, mess with the colors, transparencies, icons, etc. That's basically it.
Here's what you need to do: head over to DeviantArt and browse through the user uploaded content. You'll see a large list of them, click one you like and you can download it from the top right corner of the page. Usually if there is anything other than the theme that the author used, it will be posted in the description below. Once you download the package, unzip it. I recommend 7-Zip for all you archiving needs. Within the extracted folder you will also find a readme file that the author created to help you along with the process.
This is the theme that I use: Google+ Theme The author has a really professional and all inclusive package to help you get his theme setup, and reiterating what he wrote on here would be redundant and useless.
So here you can see a final product that utilizes all the tips and tricks I talked about in previous posts. If you haven't read those yet, go check out Part 1 and Part 2.
