Transfer old Windows Classic display theme to Windows 7 machine?

I have been using a personally customized Windows Classic display theme for well over a decade on various Windows operating systems. It's in a file with the title My Preferred Display.Theme. Is there a folder in Windows 7 where I could put this theme file in order to access it from the Win7 display personalization area? I've tried using Personalize>Windows Classic but have not been able to configure the exact look I like.

Thanks!

Hi Joan. Don't know if this will help but it looks promising (he says with fingers crossed.) It involves creating something called a Windows 7 Themepack.

Thanks, Marsmimar. I don't want to put together a new theme using disparate elements, I just want the them I have customized and saved and used on all my other Windows operating systems to function on the Win7 machine. I have placed the file in the two Themes folders (located in Windows>Resources>Themes and in the Themes file under AppData), but when I double-click to apply it, I get the message "This theme can't be applied to the desktop."

Why would Microsoft want to complicate a process that has been so straightforward in previous versions of Windows?

Thanks, Bongo. I'll try to attach the zip file. The file itself is only 6 KB. Please let me know if the file doesn't show up.

The screenshot looks absolutely beautiful, Bongo! What should I do now?

Sorry to be so slow in getting back to you. I spent the whole rest of the day and night yesterday out of town.

Oh my God, it looks fantastic, Jerry! Thank you so much--you are a miracle worker!

I'll click the Mark as Solved button.

Cheers,
