Windows 10 — where are custom themes’ pictures stored
I just upgraded to windows 10 from windows 8.1. I had created my own theme in windows 8.1 with my own pictures, I would occasionally add or remove pictures from my custom theme. In windows 10, my theme is still there but I can’t figure out how to add or remove certain photos. I also don’t have the original pictures on my computer because I dragged and dropped them into the theme on windows 8.1Where are the themes’ pictures files stored? Or how can I edit my theme like I did in windows 8.1?

It would have been nice had you actually answered the question. The Windows 8 Theme instructions no longer apply to Windows 10.
Where are the themes’ pictures files stored (in Windows 10)? Or how can I edit my theme like I did in windows 8.1?
Here is the actual answer:
Go to File Explorer:
Which will take you to wherever your default themes are saved.
And there you can access the folders containing the pictures for each theme and add/delete and so forth.
I had to ask a friend since the Microsoft answers were lacking, pointing to old information or nonexistent.

You added in a «/» there. You need to enter exactly
as the path you’re trying to go to in the File Explorer address bar if you want to do it that way. Or you can run exactly:
control /name Microsoft.Personalization /page pageWallpaper
from a Win+R (Run) prompt to select/unselect sub-photos in the theme.

%localappdata% isn’t a specific path — it’s an environment variable that will map out to be «c:\users\JaniceLarson\appdata\local» or something like that. So — «c:\users\JaniceLarson\appdata\local\Microsoft\Windows\themes» would probably the location on your system. Except replace «JaniceLarson» with your account name.
If you’re still stumped, look for custom.theme and/or roamed.theme — they should be there as well. 🙂

I can confirm this is correct. You simply change in your windows explorer to SHOW HIDDEN FILES, FOLDERS and OBJECTS. Then you can drill down to the themes folder. And I can confirm that you can copy THEMES from one computer to another and they work (This was tested copying from a Windows 10 32bit system to Windows 10 32bit system). After you copy the themes to the new system you can then go into PERSONALIZATION/THEMES in your Windows 10 Settings and you will see all your themes on your new computer. This alleviates having to find and download them again and the reason I researched this was because one of my favorite themes was no longer available for download but with the advent of this I will now simply copy the Themes to a new computer rather than download. Much faster.
What Font Is — the best font finder tool
How it Works
Some use the system to find a specific font missing from the sources sent by the client or just because they see a nice font and want to know what font is this. We believe you should be able to use the font identifier to search a font regardless of the publisher, producer or foundry.
Enjoy our font detector and good luck finding what the font you are looking for!
Drop your photo
Upload a clean image of the text containing the font you need to identify. The system uses advanced AI to find the font in 90% of the cases. The rest of 10% ‘misses’ are usually caused by low quality images (low resolution, text distorted, etc).
See here some examples of what a ‘good’ image looks like.
We’ll try to automatically separate the letters. For cursive fonts you will have to separate each letter with our advanced image editor.
Pick your font
We’ll show over 60 fonts very similar to the one in the image you have uploaded and with links to pages from where you can download or buy them. Please respect the work of the font makers and use the font according to the license (free or commercial) .
Android 12 will get out emojis and fonts from system updates and this would be awesome. Both me and the rest of the world are waiting for this to happen. And I will explain you why. For a reason that I dont know, Android stores emojis and fonts on the system partition. This is not useful. Really not useful. Whenever you want to get t
How To Change Folder Picture In Windows 10
Last Updated on September 20, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment
A large percentage of PC users know that it’s possible to change the default folder icon in Windows. For instance, you can change the default folder icon in Windows 10 look like Windows 7 icon or use third-party utilities to change folder color.
What people don’t know is that we can also change or set a folder picture. For those who have no idea, folder picture and folder icon are different.
Folder picture is the picture you see on a folder when it’s being viewed in the thumbnail view (tiles, medium icons, large icons and extra-large icons view).
Windows Explorer or File Explorer automatically creates a folder picture for the thumbnail view using up to the first four picture files in the folder. If there are no files or if there are files that cannot be used as folder picture, File Explorer displays the default folder picture.
At times, you might want to set your own picture file as folder picture for a folder in Windows 10 for easy recognition. In this guide, we will learn the two ways out there to change folder picture in Windows 10.
Method 1 of 2
Change folder picture in Windows 10
This is probably the easiest way out there, but most people who have been using Windows for decades are not aware of it.
Step 1: Open up the folder for which you want to set a folder picture. If you cannot see the file extension, click View and then select File name extensions check box.
Step 2: Rename one of the picture files in the folder to Folder.gif to set the image file as folder picture for that folder. Simple as that!
While attempting to rename an image file, you will get a warning dialog. Click Yes button rename the image file to GIF. If the image file is not opening after renaming it to GIF, please rename its extension back to the original extension.
Note that you don’t need to create a new GIF image file. Simply rename any JPEG or PNG image to Folder.GIF to set it as folder picture.
Please note that folder picture will not display animations in GIF images even if you set an animated GIF image as folder picture.
Method 2 of 2
Another way to change folder picture in Windows 10
NOTE: If a folder has a Folder.gif file, the custom folder picture that you set using this method overrides it.
Step 1: Right-click on the folder for which you want to change or set folder picture and then click Properties.
Step 2: Switch to the Customize tab. In the Folder pictures section, click Choose file, browse to the picture file that you want to set as the folder picture for the selected folder, and then click the Open button.
Finally, click the Apply button to set the picture as folder picture. To restore the original folder picture, click the Restore Default button.
