The winter holidays may be over, but the winter definitely isn’t. It is January, the middle of the winter, the time when everything should be covered in snow. Redmond-based software giant Microsoft seems to be well aware of this fact and has released a second snowy Windows 7 theme, the appropriately named "Arctic" theme. Arctic follows in the footsteps of the "Winter" theme for Windows 7.
The Arctic theme is a collection of 15 top quality images that have one thing in common – arctic animals and arctic scenery. Get this theme (offered free of charge of course via the Windows Personalization Gallery) and you will be able view a snowy owl perched on a fence, a snowy owl in flight, a humpback whale underwater, icebergs in Greenland, arctic tern fishing, a polar bear, and various other images.
