WinVistaClub releases OneWorld theme for Windows 7
Looking for an attractive new theme for your Windows 7 install?
Apart from the official Microsoft options available on the Personalization page, WinVistaClub and IntoWindows have put together the OneWorld theme.
OneWorld features five wallpaper images (compiled from other sources) and makes use of Windows 7's desktop background slideshow feature. It's designed to present an ever-expanding view of our place in the universe, from a cityscape, to a view of Earth from space, to the more abstract finale. The theme also tweaks the Welcome Center and Explorer's task pane.
Installing the themepack does require that you replace two dll files in your System32 folder. If you're not comfortable doing that, you can still install the wallpapers by extracting them from the themepack with a program like 7zip.
Note for 64-bit users: the patched dlls provided in the zip archive are from a 32-bit install, and likely won't work on Windows 7 x64.

This looks like a great theme. I may have to head over now and actually download Windows 7. However, im a little worried because it is still only a test version.

its pretty stable though. I suggest putting it on a separate partition

I'd go so far to say that its very close to XP's stability.
Just replace IE8 with the latest Firefox nightly build (google it). IE8 is pitiful.
Other than that, and getting my Ralink USB wireless N working the way I want, everything has been very smooth for me.

@Steven Finch, it's as stable as (or even more than) Vista, I've had no problems yet. Check this screenshot:
