Give Windows 7 The Halloween Look With Halloween Skin Pack

Turn on those candles, prepare your Jack-o-lantern and dress up for the festivities, as Halloween is around the corner. In the wake of the upcoming Halloween festival, Hamed has once more come up with a stylish skin pack for Windows 7. This time he is not transforming your Windows 7 into Mac OS X, Windows 8 , iOS or some kind of “Mango”, instead he has created a transformation pack to give it the spooky Halloween look.

The Halloween skin pack is similar in installation to previous themes created by Hamed, including the Ubuntu 11.10 Skin Pack and Android Skin Pack.

After selecting desired options, click Next to continue.
