Windows 7 is an operating system released by Microsoft in 2009. It is the successor of Windows Vista. Whereas Vista received criticism for its performance, 7 was more positively received and became more widely adopted by users. It was followed by Windows 8 in 2012.
Wallpapers
For Windows 7’s wallpapers, Microsoft licensed rights-managed images from Getty Images and Corbis, as with previous versions. Images were also licensed from other sources, such as SIME/4Corners Images, Photolibrary, and individual photographers’ PhotoShelters. While 7 continues the tradition of using photography, two new themes consisting of illustrations were added, to give 7 «a little bit of personality» according to Steven Sinofsky. The illustrators were found through the agency 72 and Sunny.[1] They also worked with photographer Will Austin, who directly assisted Microsoft with selecting six wallpapers from his stock collection, as it wanted to incorporate photos from Seattle in 7’s themes, the city where its headquarters are located in.[2][3] Austin described 7’s wallpapers as «a great example of Microsoft’s commitment to the user experience».
While Vista included a small set of 16:10 widescreen wallpapers, this is the first Windows version where all of the wallpapers are 1920×1200, as widescreen displays were more widespread by 2009. It is also the first version where the wallpapers are included as part of themes; while Vista’s wallpapers were split into categories, 7 sorts the wallpapers by themes instead, where selecting the theme will have the corresponding set of wallpapers being used as a slideshow.
The default wallpaper is Harmony, created by Chuck Anderson and Erik Attkisson. Whereas XP and Vista Starter editions have unique wallpaper sets, 7 only has one wallpaper for its Starter edition, which is an edited version of the regular default wallpaper.

Regional
To-do: investigate India theme and wallpapers (didn't come with the final English ISO that can be found)
Windows 7 features regional themes for 20 countries, similar to XP Starter Edition featuring 3-6 wallpapers for each country. The team behind these themes licensed images from a wide range of stock photo agencies, including Getty Images, Corbis, SIME/4Corners Images, Masterfile, age fotostock and JupiterImages (which was acquired by Getty during 7’s development). Jennifer Shepherd, who produced the regional themes, also hosted a worldwide photo contest where Microsoft employees worldwide were able to submit photos that represent their country. Employees of each country voted on the best wallpapers for their theme, including both stock photos and winning images from the contest.[4]
As well as built-in themes for each of the 20 countries, the team also produced downloadable themes of the same countries that were available from Microsoft’s site after 7 was released. The team produced a total of 40 themes, two for each country, totalling 240 regional wallpapers. 20 of these are included in 7, while the other 20 were available for download as soon as 7 was released. From 7 onwards, themes have the wallpapers set as a slideshow, while XP-era themes had one default wallpaper often with a few extra options.
Right now this page only lists the built-in ones, but it is possible that the downloadable ones will be documented on a separate page in the future.
To get a regional theme to display in the Personalization Control Panel:
- Close any opening Personalization Control Panel, if any.
- From Control Panel:
- If you’re viewing as Category: Navigate to Clock, Language, and Region → Region and Language.
- If you’re viewing as Large/small icons: Click Region and Language.
- Go to the Location tab, choose any region listed below (depending on the language version, for example: the English version came with regional themes for Australia, Canada, South Africa, United Kingdom, and United States), then click Apply.
- Open the Personalization Control Panel and check if the regional theme showed up in the «Aero Themes» section.

User account pictures
Most of Windows 7’s user account pictures come from Getty Images and use a mixture of royalty free and rights-managed licenses, with a few coming from Corbis, hired artists that worked on 7’s wallpapers, and one Microsoft employee. As with Vista’s, they are at 128×128.

Logon backgrounds
The logon background is similar to the default desktop wallpaper, being designed by Chuck Anderson and Erik Attkisson too. The image itself is pretty minimalistic ― it depicts a sky blue background with several stripes and grass blades on it, and a bird near the leaves of one of the plants. This background is also used for the post-install OOBE. Like with Vista’s logon background, it is included in a range of resolutions ranging from 1024×768 to 1920×1200.
The Embedded versions feature a completely different logon background, consisting of a dark blue radial gradient, and a line of rounded squares placed in line across the background. It is very similar to the branding wallpapers featured in the Embedded 2009 versions of Windows XP, albeit with duller shades of blue and more opaque squares. Like in regular Windows 7 editions, this background is also used for post-install OOBE and is included in various resolutions.

Setup backgrounds
The setup background is in BMP format and 1024×768, like with Vista. It can be seen during installation and in the recovery boot menu. It can be found in various places on the Windows 7 DVD as background_cli (i.e. in the /sources/ folder). It looks very similar to the logon background, although featuring a darker blue background colour, white clouds added on top, and some lines near the center shortened or made more transparent.
The Embedded versions also feature a different setup background. It is very similar to the logon background, although the line of squares is slightly further down and the colors are in a slightly different order. It can be found on the Windows 7 DVD as background_emb.
