If you checked out Microsoft Windows 10 Creators Update announcement, you will see there are lots of cool features coming to the platform. Some are more significant than others, but even smaller changes look interesting. One of the smaller features was themes. has now started putting these themes onto the .

If you are interested in trying the themes now, where there is a will there is a way. Going to WindowsApps in the Program Files menu and finding the themes will give users a .themepack to install. This should run the themes.
