Among the new themes to make it to the Personalization Gallery are two from Paramount Pictures. The first one is called Transformers 3, and as its name so adequately points out, puts the spotlight on the upcoming Michael Bay-directed movie Transformers 3. It is a nice collection of images from the upcoming movie. You can grab it from the Personalization Gallery here; check out a preview at the bottom.

Here’s the theme’s official description:
“A mysterious event from the past erupting into the present. A war so big it threatens the entire Earth. This time, the Transformers alone won't be able to save us. Celebrate the release of Michael Bay's new Paramount Pictures release Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon in 3D—starring Shia LaBeouf as Sam Witwicky—with this free theme for Windows 7.”

The second theme that is available on the Personalization Gallery is called Paramount Pictures Movies; you can get it here. This theme features images from the latest Paramount movies. The nice thing is that this theme is RSS-fed, which means that additional images will be added to the theme via an RSS feed. That would make Paramount Pictures Movies the third RSS-fed theme available on the Personalization Gallery.

The first RSS-fed theme that was released is Bing Dynamic. It was released in August 2010; In May 2011 Microsoft once again started pushing images to the theme via its RSS feed. The second RSS-fed theme that was released to the Personalization Gallery is Bing Maps Aerial Imagery. It was released this May and features aerial images from various places in the US.

Getting back to the Paramount Pictures Movies theme, here’s its official description:
Automatically receive new wallpapers from the latest Paramount Pictures movies, including Thor, True Grit, Kung Fu Panda 2, Super 8, and Transformers 3. This free Windows 7 theme updates automatically through an RSS feed.”
