Collection of rejected Windows 7 wallpapers released as a theme
A while back, there was quite a bit of talk about the progression from initial conceptualization of Windows 7's signature wallpaper to its final form. Now, thanks to Manan Kakkar you can utilize some of the background images that were part of that evolution on your Windows desktop.
There are 8 images in total which Manan has packaged as a WIndows 7 theme (using the Garden sound scheme).
As with the image downloaded by Bing4Free, the rejected wallpaper images aren't suitable for your 26" 1080p display. They're all a bit better than netbook sized at 1366x768 and should look decent on most screens 14" or less.
Should higher-res versions become available, we'll update you.

Not only small, but lots of compression artifacts to boot. Shame, they're really nice - I definitely use a couple of these in full hi-res!

Agreed- though they do look pretty decent on my Acer Aspire One.
...on which I never see the wallpaper because I'm running apps full screen
:P

That one looks nice but I've zero interest in anything packaged as a theme. Just give me the images and I'm happy.
I didn't really like any of the wallpapers that came with, well, any version of Windows. Perhaps because you see them so much in screenshots, they are already passe by the time you get your hands on them.

The first four are nice but the rest are ruined by the Win logo. My favourite Win7 graphic is still the logon image - background.bmp found in the Windows folder.
