Greetings fellow Pod Pilots!
Being a Windows 7 beta tester I have taken it upon myself to create a few EVE Online themepacks for Windows 7. If any of you are so brave as to be running the Windows 7 beta (or will be tomorrow when the public beta is released), feel free to download these themepacks and simply doubleclick them for your viewing pleasure.
For those that are not sure what themepacks are, it is a new customization feature in Windows 7. Simply put, a themepack is a pre-packaged set of desktop backgrounds, window colors, sounds and a screen saver. Windows 7 has added the ability to select multiple files as a desktop background and can automatically transition between them at set intervals. All this can be packaged into one single file called a themepack and distributed as long as you have permission to distribute the contents of the themepack of course. More detail about this is at the official Windows 7 website.
My themepacks contain only backgrounds and window colors, and sounds and screen savers are switched off. You can enable those by yourself if you wish to.
Please note that these themepacks are NOT officially supported by CCP, as I did this in my own free time.
Without further ado, get your themepacks at the links below. Navigate to the links and from there, select the download links :)
Trinity - Widescreen
Trinity - Standard
Empyrean Age - Widescreen
I might be adding more themepacks as time goes on so feel free to bookmark this thread 
Here are sample screenshots of the themes

The beta of Windows 7 is being released publicly on Friday. I've been running EVE on the beta for a little over a week now and haven't noticed any problems yet. It crashes every now and then on exit, but I get that on Vista too.

Rofl! Okay, I may not have worded it perfectly (english is not my native) but the essence of my point still stands:
Either Microsoft made a crappy ui this time, or the modification of the ui made it crappy. Makes more sense? |

Oh no your point was perfect the first time, I was just being a goof. :)
Anyway Vista's UI was pretty ass-ish, and Windows 7 is a "refinement" of that so it stands to reason any of the design aesthetics which might have curled your hair in Vista will still be there in 7. Luckily you can turn it off for a more classic feel.

Cool. :D
I also have the beta but haven't played around with it at all yet, is there a way that I would be able to change the "quick launch" esque items to be smaller, like in previous versions of Windows? I just don't like how boxy some Windows 7 things look.
I've been hearing nothing but good about its performance, I just wish they didn't start moving back toward whites/light blues/flat for their visual scheme!

Not to be an ass, but.. how is this any different from going to the wallpaper section of the website, right clicking -> set as background? Without custom sounds and icons, this isn't much of a theme as it a way to change your background + UI colors in one step.

Some explanations due to all the replies :)
Themepack not being a Windows 7 invention
That's true. Themes have been in Windows for years. However until now, 3rd party themepacks have not been easy to make for anyone without hacking things together and using patched DLL's. Windows 7 makes it as easy as setting it up for you personally and clicking a "Save Theme" link. And they're called theme packs in 7 so that's what I called them here.
Does it include Sounds and a Screen Saver
Nope. I made this myself at home and i hate Windows Sounds so i turn them off and don't use a screensaver either. It's easy to change this if you want.
uTorrent?
With all the beta testing, reformatting hard drives etc. I have to periodically download things like game patches and the EVE client for example.
How is this any different from going to the wallpaper section of the website, right clicking -> set as background? Without custom sounds and icons, this isn't much of a theme as it a way to change your background + UI colors in one step.
It isn't except for the fact that it's a custom UI color and more than one wallpaper in a single downloadable file. Also due to there being multiple wallpapers in the theme pack and Windows 7 supporting more than one wallpaper you should see them smoothly transitioning like a slideshow every 30 minutes (you can configure the delay from the Personalization menu if you want). No more getting bored of the same wallpaper for hours on end.
Does your boss know what your doing????
He knows :) I did this in my free time at home... i promise :)
And yes. EVE works fine on 7 for me at least. Tried both Windows 7 x86 and x64, works just fine and dandy :)
"Miscellaneous Windows 7 talk"
I love the beta. Admittedly I also liked Vista but 7 is way better in my opinion. Better performance, less memory requirements and refined UI and small stuf flike the theme pack support. It's a hit for me. The SuperBar (new taskbar) is awesome compared to the old one if you find yourself having more than just 5 - 10 windows open at the same time. I suggest you go to the Windows 7 site and watch the superbar demonstration video. Jumplists and pinned items are epic win!

I've found that setting the EVE executable to XP compatibility actually helps prevent these crashes on Vista64.
Allthough I still get the random crash sometimes when closing the second client.
Also, if you have Xfire installed, it can interfere with the client sometimes, causing it to lag, or eventually crash.
/edit: Nice work on these themepacks btw, but as said before, T2 blasters would have been nice ;)

*cough* Ok, veering waaaay offtopic here, but boxcore - the only branch which will show EvEMon tray popups in vista64 - is the only branch that displays vista network/battery/sound tray icons & popups ... it does not support the W7 version of said icons + notification centre right now ... *cough* yes, blackbox was the first app I tried when I installed W7 Beta in a VBox.
... and I really think they should boost T2 plate HP.

No just install install it within a Virtual Machine if you want to test it. Try Virtual Box if you want an easy to use VM.
Running it in a VM and is faster than XP and only have 512mb assigned to the VM.

This.
Disable superfetch and total commits are not that far from XP levels, provided you wait a minute or so after boot to let it unload boot-only stuff from memory. I'm seeing 385-415 on the x64 version.
Disk-wise base install seems to take ~9GB discounting VSS copies of stuff and pagefile, which is not small, but still less than what a Visitron64 base install eats. |

I only had a few Problems with Windows 7 so far:
For those of u using MPC and the CCCP-Project codec pack to play your videos, MPC will, for some reasons, not display softsubs on windows 7, however if you check Autoload VSFilter, WMP will be able to display them.
Another issue I have is that I cant get the TV-Out to work, sadly. Those 2 issues are minor in my opinion.
My last issue is that, for some reason, I cannot install this theme pack T_T, any idea on this one? |

Well...
Logically, every new itteration of a program should be better than the one before it, sadly its not always true (ME, Vista). In vista case however, it's understandable that it would suck a bit because it was the first iteration of the "new" windows.
I do think however that this is a good contender to be better than XP. |

Anyone figured out why it fails to install for some of us?
I noticed a MASSIVE performance increas in EVE over Vista64.
Vista is usually 120-130fps while 7 gives me 150-170fps.
And having all drives installed when you install it is pure win, love it!

That's moronic. A theme is purely new skins for existing UI stuff. Or do the Firefox themes you download include a new layout engine?
Being a snob about windows stopped being cool in 1999. Catch up.

The beta of Windows 7 is being released publicly on Friday. I've been running EVE on the beta for a little over a week now and haven't noticed any problems yet. It crashes every now and then on exit, but I get that on Vista too.
I've found that setting the EVE executable to XP compatibility actually helps prevent these crashes on Vista64.
Allthough I still get the random crash sometimes when closing the second client.
Also, if you have Xfire installed, it can interfere with the client sometimes, causing it to lag, or eventually crash.
/edit: Nice work on these themepacks btw, but as said before, T2 blasters would have been nice ;)
just add exefile.exe to the dep exception list and you wont get anymore crashes.

Microsoft is a failure... i don't enjoy any of their products after 250 ths lifetime reinstallation of OS and resulting data loss.
It's been buggy since MS DOS. Spam, viruses, blue screen of death, awful support and never ending need for more repairs.
Although I can't play games in Mac OS, it hasn't failed in storing my audio tracks. I can't understand why users are so enthusiastic about Windows 7. As if another bite of a rotten pie is going to taste any better.
CCP is cooler than Microsoft and much more customer welcoming. |

Because this may be the *one* time in their history that they release a good OS? I've been playing with the beta and in all honesty ... it's more stable, quicker, and way more functional than my WindowsXP-SP3 tweaked OS.

7 is indeed good, but I don't understand the Vista hate, either. I run a tweaked Vista x64 Business, and it's fast and perfectly stable. Faster on my hardware, in fact, than XP was. |

CCP, you can see how this is a little bit comical, right? :) Ironical even.
Afterall, EVE isn't exactly known to have the best UI in the world. Seeing as it's often refered to as Windows 3.0 (see reference) in quality, and then you want to use that as a theme for Windows 7! ^^

Vista is the new Millenium. It's an inbetween package that all the businesses and schools blow a tonn of money on for no particular profit.

No offense, but this thread shows why there will always be Windows users.... 
One guy makes a theme pack and when it doesnt work, the rest of you does nothing to try and figure out what can be the reason. Instead you sit and wait for a fix. Thats a Windows user to me. Someone who is not interested in fixing something that doesnt work. Someone who wants to get but do not contribute.
Lazy bastards.

Well here's your contribution...
The problem can only be fixed by the guy who created said themepacks. I tried unpacking them with 7-zip in Vista and XP, but it complains that the wallpaper files included are corrupted. Because of this, the themepacks won't install under Windows 7.
I also tested the problem by downloading another theme from the official Microsoft website and that one installed fine.
This has to be fixed by the person who created the themepacks. Nothing to do with being a lazy Windows user.

And how did you find this out? By not being lazy. It might as well have been a problem you could fix.

Ghostrider, does Eve works with windows 7 ?
Working like in "enter the first screens, launch the station and dedock" (and then crash a few minutes after, maybe, but you got it).
Yes it does, I'm running Eve on my secondary system that is running the following:
AMD 5000+ Processor
Asus M3A mobo
2 gigs RAM
80 gig SATA Hard Drive
ATI X1650 Video Card (will be upgrading this to a 4850 soon)
What times I've been running Eve (premium) on my secondary account have been quite pleasant.
I may be wrong but right now its possible that Microsoft finally got something right, only complaint I have on Win7 is mainly the start menu, it needs to be a little cleaner and easier to navigate. |

I'm getting the error as well - Failed to install the theme.
Perhaps there have been an update on the theme system since this was done?

Sorry everyone, I didn't see the recent replies until now.
It seems the themepacks didn't upload correctly as the MD5 hashes of them don't match to the source ones I have on my machine at home.
I'll reupload them, along with a new one for Quantum Rise first thing in the morning :)

I reuploaded the themepacks (to Amazon S3 this time) and updated the first post with new links :).
Let me know if this still isn't working.
Just out of curiosity, those of you who have tested the Windows 7 beta, how are your impressions so far?

I'm one of these people that gets along very nicely with Vista atm. That being said W7 is soooooooo much faster than Vista in several areas, primarily the speed at which it boots up and shuts down.
I like the new features on the taskbar and programs seem to run very quickly.
My only problem I have found is if you leave W7 loaded and walk away leaving it to go into hibernation, on my rig it struggles to recover and I have to restart.
First impressions from a Vista users is "very good".

Gonna try those themes when at home :) I am using W7 64-bit and EVE runs without a glitch, seems to be faster than in Vista 64-bit. Even that strange dip in FPS at regular intervals is gone. Not sure if this is OS related or driver related. Using the W7 drivers for my nVidia card, have not been fiddling with Vista drivers. So all in all W7 seems to be a clear improvement over Vista. |

changed all my computers to Win7 after testing a while an my old xp one :)
i really like the less memory usage and speed increase (esp. loading times seems to be much shorter)
and for a beta i was suprised how stable it runs (and its from microsoft oO) and in my case good driver support.
direct after install everything was running fine :)
