Mawduucyada Windows 8 kama duwana mawduucyada Windows 7 , ugu yaraan maaha marka aad eegto iyaga markii ugu horeysay. Habka abuurista iyo habaynta mawduucyada waa isku mid labada nidaamka hawlgalka laakiin faylalka mawduuca ee ka yimaada habka waxay leeyihiin faylal dheeraad ah oo kala duwan oo aan ku habboonayn midba midka kale. Waa maxay sababtu? Runtii waxaan rabay inaan barto jawaabta su'aashan, waxaanan go'aansaday inaan xoogaa cilmi baaris ah keligiis sameeyo. Waa tan waxa aan bartay:

Waa maxay mawduuca Windows si kastaba? - Qeexitaanka geek

Marka hore, waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan ku bilaabo sharraxaadda waxa mawduuca Windows yahay, oo ka madax bannaan nooca ^(Windows)Windows ee aad isticmaalayso. Microsoft waxay^(Microsoft) leedahay "mawduucu waa isku darka sawirada asalka ah ee miiska, midabada daaqadaha, iyo dhawaaqyada".

Taasi waa sax laakiin lama wadaagto sawirka buuxa. Sidaa darteed, waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan bixiyo qeexitaan dheer oo qoto dheer. Waa kan:

"Mawduuca Windows waa kayd leh faylal gaar ah oo dheeraad ah ( ^{("A Windows theme is an archive with a specific file extension ()}.themepack gudaha Windows 7 iyo .deskthemepack ee Windows 8 ) Waxaa ku jira wallpapers-ka loo isticmaalo Desktop - ka iyo sidoo kale goobaha sida: calaamadaha caadiga ah ee Desktop ( Computer , Network , Dib-u-warshadaynta Bin^{(Recycle Bin)} , iwm) iyadoo la isticmaalayo, macluumaadka qaabka muuqaalka ah ayaa lagu dabaqay Windows iyo dhammaan barnaamijyada desktop-ka, cursarada mouse-ka ayaa la isticmaalayaa, muraayadaha oo shaqeeya marka kombiyuutarku aan la isticmaalin iyo nidaamka dhawaaqa ayaa lagu dabaqayaa nidaamka hawlgalka."

Markaad soo saarto nuxurka mawduuca Windows , waxaad heli doontaa qaab dhismeed la mid ah kan hoose: galka DesktopBackground oo ay ku jiraan dhammaan wallpapers-ka loo isticmaalo Desktop - ka iyo fayl wata kordhinta ".theme" oo la mid ah ".ini " qaabaynta faylasha ay isticmaalaan dhammaan noocyada barnaamijyada.

Haddii aad tafatirto faylka ".theme" , waxaad ogaan doontaa in uu leeyahay qaab-dhismeed la mid ah waxa ka muuqda sawirka hoose.

Maxaa ka duwan mawduucyada Windows 8 marka la barbar dhigo mawduucyada Windows 7 ?

Mar haddii mawduuca Windows uu leeyahay qeexitaan iyo door isku mid ah, iyadoon loo eegin nooca Windows ee aad isticmaalayso, maxay Windows 8 mawduucyada ugu shaqaynayn Windows 7 ?

Si aan si buuxda u fahamno kala duwanaanshaha farsamada, waxaan isticmaalay mawduuc cajiib ah oo aan abuurnay, annagoo adeegsanayna waraaqo isku mid ah iyo ku dhawaad ​​isku mid ah, labadaba Windows 7 iyo Windows 8 . Waa mawduuc aad u muuqda.

Ka dib markii aan u abuuray mawduuca gacanta, labadaba Windows 8 iyo Windows 7 , waxaan soo saaray feyl kasta oo mawduuc ah oo waxaan bilaabay raadinta kala duwanaansho taas oo sharxi karta sababta mawduucyada Windows 8 aysan ku habboonayn Windows 7 .

Farqiga ugu horreeya ee la dareemi karo waa kordhinta faylka. Mawduucyada Windows 8 waxay leeyihiin .deskthemepack faylka kordhinta halka Windows 7 mawduucyada ay leeyihiin faylka .themepack kordhinta. Sidoo kale, nooca mid kasta oo ka mid ah faylalkani waxa uu leeyahay magac kale: Faylka mawduuca Windows 8 waxaa lagu magacaabaa Faylka Xirmada Mawduuca ee Windows Desktop^{(Windows Desktop Theme Pack File)} halka Windows 7 lagu magacaabo Faylka Xirmada Mawduuca Windows^{(Windows Theme Pack File)} .

Haddii mawduucyada Windows ay leeyihiin ku dhawaad ​​isku habayn, waa inay lahaadaan qiyaas isku mid ah. Sida aad ku arki karto sawirka kore, mawduuca Windows 8 ayaa 1 KB kaliya ka yar mawduuca Windows 7 .

Soo saarista waxa ku jira faylka mawduuc kasta, ayaa shaaca ka qaaday qaab-dhismeedka iyo faylasha isku midka ah. Sidaa darteed, tillaabada xigta waxay ahayd in la furo faylka ".theme" ee ku jira mawduuc kasta oo la barbardhigo goobaha lagu kaydiyo gudaha. Kaliya markaas ayaan bilaabay inaan ogaado dhowr kala duwanaansho muhiim ah.

Marka hore^(First) mawduucyada Windows 8 waxay leeyihiin ThemeID - aqoonsi sida kuwa lagu isticmaalo Diiwaanka Windows^{(Windows Registry)} . Mawduucyada Windows 7 ma isticmaalaan aqoonsiyada^(IDs) noocaas ah .

Kadib, mawduucyada Windows 7 waxay leeyihiin laba hab oo u muuqda inay ka baxeen mawduucyada Windows 8 : TileWallpaper iyo WallpaperStyle - waxaa loo isticmaalaa in lagu qeexo booska gidaarka ee shaashadda.

Mawduucyada Windows 8 waxay soo bandhigayaan beddelka seddex goobood oo cusub: MultimonBackgrounds - oo loo isticmaalo marka aad haysato gidaarro la jaan qaada muraayadaha badan iyo PicturePosition - waxay u badan tahay, waxay bedeshaa labada goobood ee Windows 7 ee hore loo sheegay.

Goobta saddexaad ee cusub waa Midabaynta Tooska^{(AutoColorization)} ah . Tani waa muuqaal kale oo cusub oo ka mid ah mawduucyada Windows 8 - suurtagalnimada in la beddelo midabka lagu dabaqay dhammaan daaqadaha shaashadda, oo ku saleysan midabka ugu weyn ee wallpaper hadda firfircoon.

Liiska kala duwanaanshiyaha halkan ayuu joogsadaa wuuna ka gaaban yahay sidii aan filayay.

Gabagabo

Sida aad ka arki karto layligayga yar ee cilmi-baarista, sababta Windows 8 mawduucyada aysan u shaqeynin Windows 7 waa sababtoo ah Windows 8 wuxuu soo bandhigayaa sifooyin cusub mawduucyada miiska: Taageero badan oo kormeer ah, midabaynta otomaatiga ah ee dhammaan daaqadaha furan ee ku salaysan firfircoonida. wallpaper iyo nidaam cusub oo aqoonsi mawduuc kasta.

What's New About Windows 8 Themes? Why They Don't Work in Windows 7?

Windоws 8 themes are not different from Windows 7 themes, at least not when you look at them for the first time. The prоcess for creating and customіzing themes is the same in both operating syѕtems but the theme fіles that result from the process have a different filе extension and they are not compatible with each other. Why is that? I really wanted to learn the answer to this question and I deсided to do a bit of research on my own. Here's what I haνe learned:

What is a Windows theme anyway? - A geek's definition

First, I would like to start by explaining what a Windows theme is, independent of the Windows version you are using. Microsoft says that "a theme is a combination of desktop background pictures, window colors, and sounds".

That's correct but it doesn't share the full picture. Therefore, I would like to provide a longer and more thorough definition. Here it goes:

"A Windows theme is an archive with a specific file extension (.themepack in Windows 7 and .deskthemepack in Windows 8). It includes the wallpapers used on the Desktop as well as the settings like: the standard Desktop icons (Computer, Network, Recycle Bin, etc) being used, visual style information applied to Windows and all desktop programs, the mouse cursors being used, the screensaver that runs when the computer is not in use and the sound scheme applied to the operating system."

When you extract the content of a Windows theme, you will find a structure similar to the one below: a DesktopBackground folder which includes all the wallpapers used on the Desktop and a file with the extension ".theme" which is similar to ".ini" configuration files used by all kinds of programs.

If you edit the ".theme" file, you will notice that it has a structure similar to what is shown in the screenshot below.

What's different about Windows 8 themes compared to Windows 7 themes?

Since a Windows theme has the same definition and role, no matter the Windows version you are using, why don't Windows 8 themes work in Windows 7?

In order to fully understand the technical differences, I have used an awesome theme we created, using the same wallpapers and almost the same settings, both in Windows 7 and Windows 8. It is a great looking theme.

After I created the theme manually, both in Windows 8 and Windows 7, I extracted each theme file and started looking for differences that would explain why Windows 8 themes are not compatible with Windows 7.

The first noticeable difference is the file extension. Windows 8 themes have the .deskthemepack file extension while Windows 7 themes have the .themepack file extension. Also, the type for each of these files has a different name: a Windows 8 theme file is named Windows Desktop Theme Pack File while in Windows 7 it is named Windows Theme Pack File.

If Windows themes have almost the same settings, they should have about the same size. As you can see in the screenshot above, the Windows 8 theme is only 1 KB smaller than the Windows 7 theme.

Extracting the contents of each theme file, revealed the same structure and files. Therefore, the next step was to open the ".theme" file included in each theme and compare the settings stored inside. Only then did I start to notice a few important differences.

First of all Windows 8 themes have a ThemeID - an identifier like those used in the Windows Registry. Windows 7 themes don't use such IDs.

Then, Windows 7 themes have two settings that seem to be gone from Windows 8 themes: TileWallpaper and WallpaperStyle - they are used to describe the position of the wallpaper on the screen.

Windows 8 themes introduce instead three new settings: MultimonBackgrounds - used when you have wallpapers compatible with multi monitor setups and PicturePosition - most probably, it replaces the two Windows 7 positioning settings mentioned earlier.

The third new setting is AutoColorization. This is another new feature of Windows 8 themes - the possibility to change the color applied to all the windows on the screen, based on the main color of the currently active wallpaper.

The list of differences stops here and it shorter than I expected.

Conclusion

As you can see from my little research exercise, the reason why Windows 8 themes don't work in Windows 7 is because Windows 8 introduces new features to its desktop themes: multi-monitor support, auto colorization of all opened windows based on the active wallpaper and a new identification system for each theme.
