9 Windows 8 Themes for Windows 7

Windows 8 is Microsoft’s most controversial release. Right from inception, the new operating system has received flak from all sides, but if you look closely at these criticisms you will find that most of them are directed towards the start page and not the operating system in general. The desktop interface itself is not much different from previous versions, and Windows 8 does include some excellent features such as faster boot, Storage Spaces and File History to name a few.

Right now it is possible to both love and hate Windows 8 at the same time. It is also possible to like Windows 8’s flat gradient-less windows but strongly dislike the full screen, multi-colored start page. If you like Windows 8’s new look but is not yet ready to oust Windows 7 from your computer, you can try these themes that were designed by borrowing certain interface elements from Windows 8.

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo

Facebook’s current layout, the so called Timeline, features a prominent, large cover photo that some people are using in a lot of different creative ways. Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website.

How to Record CPU and Memory Usage Over Time in Windows?

The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph.
