There is the option to change Theme when the Photo Gallery is running in
Slideshow mode. Currently (Vista RTM) the only options are 'Classic' and
'Fade'. Are other themes available? If so where? Is it possible to create
your own themes for the slideshows, and if so where can I find out how?

Thanks :-)

My guess is that the number of themes available is determined by the spec of
the PC running the Photo Gallery application. I've got a couple of machines
running Vista Ultimate RTM. The older machine only offers me the classic and
fade themes you mention. However, my high-end machine has no less than 12
themes available (Classic, Fade, Pan & Zoom, Black & White, Sepia, Album,
Collage, Frame, Glass, Spin, Stack, Travel). My own current personal
favourite is "Spin".

Cheers,

Simon

I am running Vista Business RTM and my machine has a Windows Expeirence Score
of 4.0, but I still only get classic and fade. I used to get all themes fine
with Ultimate RC1&2. So is it a problem with Vista editions? I checked
PhotoGallery help file, it doesn't mention editions, only says hardware is
the requirement for all the other themes.
