在安装Windows 7时,系统会提示您输入您的国家和语言(country and language)。根据您的选择,将安装一组主题。除此之外,Windows 7还会在您的硬盘上复制一些您不知道的其他隐藏主题。有一些隐藏的主题,微软(Microsoft)认为是区域主题,在默认(default list)的已安装主题列表中是无法访问的。例如,对于Windows 7的英文发行版,您有针对澳大利亚(Australia)、加拿大(Canada)、南非(South Africa)、英国等国家/地区的主题(Great Britain)和美国。在此列表中,您的个性化(Personalize) 控制面板(Control Panel)中只会显示一个,具体取决于您所做的选择。在本文中,我将分享Windows 7中的隐藏主题,在您的计算机上的何处找到它们以及如何安装它们。
如何查看隐藏的区域主题(Hidden Regional Themes)
首先,您必须打开Windows Explorer。您可以通过在“开始”菜单(Start Menu)中搜索或按组合键找到它:Windows+E
。您现在必须将Windows 资源管理器(Windows Explorer)设置为显示隐藏文件。这可以从文件夹选项(Folder Options)菜单中完成。打开文件夹选项(Folder Options)在我们之前名为如何改进Windows 资源管理器文件夹选项(Windows Explorer Folder Options)的文章中有所介绍。要快速总结,请转到Organize -> 'Folder and search options' -> View。
在“查看”(View)选项卡中,选中“显示隐藏的文件、文件夹和驱动器”('Show hidden files, folders and drives')并取消选中“隐藏受保护的操作系统文件(推荐)”('Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)')。
取消选中“隐藏受保护的操作系统文件(推荐)”('Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)')时,您将收到以下提示,点击是(Yes)。
单击确定(OK),文件夹选项(Folder Options)窗口将关闭。
注意:(NOTE:)安装所有区域主题后,最好将Windows 资源管理器(Windows Explorer)设置回原来的样子,不显示隐藏文件、文件夹和驱动器(hidden files, folders and drives),并取消选中受保护的操作系统文件(protected operating system files)。只需检查这两个选项即可。
在哪里可以找到主题并安装它们(Themes and Install Them)
在Windows 资源管理器(Windows Explorer)中'C:WindowsGlobalizationMCT'
,您可以找到至少一个特定于国家/地区的文件夹。如果您安装了英文版的Windows 7,您可以在下图中找到文件夹,每个文件夹都有一个国家/地区的主题。
打开任何文件夹并转到其中的主题(Theme)子文件夹。
双击“.theme”文件进行安装。个性化(Personalization) 控制面板(Control Panel)将出现,所选主题将自动应用并保存在那里。在您安装了所有缺少的区域主题之后,个性化(Personalization)窗口应该是这样的。
对要安装的所有主题重复此过程。您将在个性化(Personalization)控制面板中看到隐藏的主题一一列出。
结论
在本文中,我向您展示了Windows 7的一个隐藏部分:区域主题以及如何在您的Windows 7版本中使用它们,方法是首先找到然后安装它们。如果您发现或创建了默认不包含在Windows 7中的主题,(Windows 7)请(please share)与我们分享。我们期待任何新的和有趣的主题,我们将确保与大家分享。
How to Unveil Hidden Regional Themes in Windows 7
At the installatіon of Windоws 7 you are prompted for your country and language. Based on your selection, a group of themes will be installed. Apart from that, Windows 7 will copy on your hard disk sоme additional hidden themes that you aren't aware of. Thеre are a fеw hidden themes, considered by Microsoft to be regional themes which aren't аccessiblе in the default list of installed themes. For еxample, for English distributions of Windows 7 you have themes fоr countries such as Australia, Canada, South Africa, Great Britain and the US. From this list, only one will be visible in your Personalize Control Panel, depending on the selections you made. In this article I will share the hidden themes in Windows 7, where to find them on your computer and how to install them.
How to View the Hidden Regional Themes
First, you have to open Windows Explorer. You can find it either by searching for it in the Start Menu or by pressing the combination of keys: Windows+E
. You now have to set Windows Explorer to show hidden files. This can be done from the Folder Options menu. Opening Folder Options is shown in our previous article called How To Improve Windows Explorer Folder Options. To quickly summarize, go to Organize -> 'Folder and search options' -> View.
In the View tab, check 'Show hidden files, folders and drives' and uncheck 'Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)'.
When unchecking 'Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)' you will receive the following prompt, on which you click Yes.
Click on OK and the Folder Options window will be closed.
NOTE: After you install all regional themes, it can be a good idea to set Windows Explorer back to the way it was and have it not showing hidden files, folders and drives and uncheck protected operating system files. It's only a matter of checking back these two options.
Where to Find The Themes and Install Them
In Windows Explorer go to 'C:WindowsGlobalizationMCT'
where you will find at least one country-specific folder. If you have installed an English version of Windows 7, you can find the folders in the picture below, each folder having a theme for one country.
Open any of the folders and go to the Theme sub-folder inside it.
Double click the '.theme' file to install it. The Personalization Control Panel will appear and the selected theme is automatically applied and saved there. This is how the Personalization window should look like, after you have installed all the missing regional themes.
Repeat the procedure for all the themes that you want to install. You will see the hidden themes listed one by one in the Personalization Control Panel.
Conclusions
In this article I've shown you a hidden part of Windows 7: the regional themes and how to take use them in your version of Windows 7, by first locating and then installing them. If you found or created a theme that is not included in Windows 7 by default, please share it with us.
