Microsoft Confirms Themes 'Coming Soon' For Windows 10, Both Free And Paid

Microsoft, which released its Windows 10 build 15007 on Jan. 12, has vowed to drop surprises in a row.

Soon after the release of the new build, Microsoft officially declared that it is making themes available in the Windows Store, thus presenting its users with an easy-to-use theme collection, which can be downloaded on their devices.

Given that the hints of the theme going live on the Windows Store have been floating for quite some time, it hardly comes as a surprise to consumers. This feature will be available in the Creators Update, which is due to release in April.

Windows Store Will Provide Both Paid And Free Themes

There will be free as well as paid themes available in the Windows Store for download. Currently the feature will not work on the 15007 build as it is still buggy, but Microsoft has promised that the glitch will be fixed in the coming builds.

The head of Microsoft Insider program, Dona Sarkar, explained that users will soon be able to download new themes on their PC. The Store icon is currently not functional at the bottom of the themes setting page. However, one can go to the Store page to find the theme collection and try downloading the themes from the store itself.

Microsoft Windows 10 Build 15007 Features

The Windows 10 build 15007 build brings in a great number of Microsoft Edge improvements like sharing the tabs on PC, which was initially introduced in the 15002 build. It also brings in enhancements like importing data from alternate browsers when the user is switching over to Microsoft Edge.

Users can also "Run" a download link, without saving it first as Microsoft has added a "Save As" option for the users' benefit. The Web Notes feature has also been developed to give users the ease and experience of working with Windows Ink. A single tap on the pen or highlighter in Web Notes will provide users with a full set of Windows Ink colors.

The Windows 10 build 15007 for PC also brings an inline progress bar for alerts for downloads, as well as advanced Cortana assistance to manage multiple links and data when a user uses multiple PC's.

Windows 10 build 15007 will also bring in Windows Hello upgrades, which will provide users with a visual guidance, Bluetooth APIs enabling GATT Server, unpaired Bluetooth LE device connectivity and Bluetooth LE Peripheral role.
