Everyone loves to give their computer a makeover from time to time, and Halloween is as good a reason as any to seek out a new desktop theme. While there’s nothing to stop you from heading out with your digital camera and snapping a suitable shot, or even getting creative in the likes of Photoshop, it is a great deal easier to let someone else do the hard work for you; this is where a Halloween Skin Pack could give you the new look you have been looking for.
More than just a new background image -- although this is a part of the skin pack -- the Halloween Skin Pack includes a number of options for spookifying your desktop. Providing you have the relevant third party tools installed, you can customize your login screen, Start menu, icons, and much, much more.
The diminutive size of the initial download is slightly deceptive as during the installation process you will need to be connected to the Internet to download all of the required components. If you have not already patched your system to allow the installation of unsigned themes, this option is available during the installation to enable you to completely change the look of Windows.
All of the icons and images have been produced to a very high standard, and the number of programs you need to get full advantage of the skin pack is fairly extensive. Thankfully, you do not need to worry about checking that you have all of them installed as this is all taken care of for you automatically. Run through the installer and after a quick reboot, you will be greeted by a Halloween inspired desktop.
