Gnome Skin Pack, a theme that transforms the appearance of Windows 7 to Linux
One of the easiest and fastest ways to change the current operating system is to apply a theme. I must admit that I am a follower of customization, probably like many others, but often do not thank me just made a theme change. The solution is to install a skin pack, a kind of theme-package brings fundamental changes to the entire aspect of the operating system. Not long ago, we presented a theme for Windows 8, namely Famine . In this article, I present to you install a skin pack, Gnome, which will transform the look of the operating system Windows 7 , Linux. Installation is simple, of course followed by a restart of the system to application.
We specifically recommend running a backup before installing a skin pack! Effects of anyskin pack are totally different from the application of a simple theme. In case something goes right, return to original state by restoring to a previous restore point made will not always have the desired result. We also recommend disabling UAC (User Account Control)before installation. In the installation process, if you do not want to install a useless toolbar, uncheck those options as shown.
Also during installation, if you are informed, you can choose which items they want installed or replaced. For example, I do not appreciate the Rocket Dock.
Service Pack 2 for Windows 7 hidden in a cumulative update!?First Service Pack for Windows 7 was released almost two years ago, exactly on 23 February 2011 and even if Microsoft never asserted this, chances are very low thatService Pack 2 for Windows 7 to ever see the light of day . However, yes, there is a "however" coming updates this month accompanied by a surprise update KB2775511. This, despite the fact that it has only 32 MB, includes 90 important patches whose purpose is to improve the overall performance of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. In other words, even if this update is not as big as a Service Pack and was not called so perfectly fulfills the other conditions to be considered such a package.
How KB2775511 update soon appear in Windows Update , I succumbed to temptation and downloaded and installed it manually a few minutes ago, which is why I recommend you do the same if you are impatient via download link below, available only in one version ofInternet Explorer.
Performance differences have not yet felt no earlier that once had when installing the update until the writing of this post the only program running was Windows Live Writer, but I'm sure these improvements spoken Technet blog will be present during a longer uses the system.
