If you ever tried to install Windows 10’s themes or newly released Windows 10/8.1 themes in Windows 7, you probably have noticed that the official new themes available on the personalization gallery page come with .deskthemepack extension and can’t be installed on Windows 7 for the same reason.

Even though one can always extract the theme using 7-Zip or WinZip to get the gorgeous desktop backgrounds included in the theme and then create your own theme with .themepack extension (see how to install Windows 8 themes on Windows 7), this time around we have a better solution.

    Thanks for this! Only, My result is still not panoramic. It is the same image duplicated on each screen and my multiple displays are already set to ‘Extend these displays’. Any advice?
