Windows Themes (We need a PASS Theme!)
I imagine most of us change our wallpaper on the desktop from time to time. Frivolous but fun, a simple way to personalize what is otherwise a not very exciting tool most of the time. Windows 7 does a nice job of taking that further with some really good themes – you can get a bunch of free ones at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/personalize?T1=themes.
That got me thinking, why don’t we have one for PASS? For Summit presenters? For SQLSaturday presenters?
I’m graphically challenged so it’s not something I can do. Someone want to take a shot at it?

What about just taking some of the Flickr pictures from the summit and rotating them through your windows 7 wallpaper. I have that running typically on my laptop from my PASS Summit photowalks. I get to re-live those fun Photowalks and fun summit times all the time.
Not sure how to create a Theme out of them but something I could look into.

Here’s my first crack at it. Zip file contains light/dark themes (made in Windows 7)

Pat, I don’t think is a bad idea at all. Thinking nice to have few to choose from.
Jorge, just tried yours, loaded ok, image is off center – by design?
Jorge,
I liked yours for presenting or doing webinars makes it really easy to put something up that show’s pass.
I’ll use it on my talk this weekend at the Code camp.
I’ll work on a picture based one as well though in case someone want’s the nostalgic view.
