The Change Wallpaper on the lower right side is the key object. You can choose to change it every few minutes (or hours and seconds), or you can set it to change only after each system startup. [Apply] makes the settings take effect.

Some theme packages may also include .wav system sound effects. Vista users will automatically import sound settings when they double-click the .theme file. XP users will need to manually copy these files to C:\\Windows. \\Media directory.
