A Windows theme is a collection of cosmetic modifications to the operating system’s interface which changes the display and feeling of Windows. A theme may alter the standard desktop background, colors, sounds, mouse cursors and Windows icons. For those who do not like the theme in your operating system, you can easily change it to one of the many default themes or download new ones from the Microsoft Store. If you have too many themes, you can always delete existing ones to make room for new ones.
