When writing the latest Windows Live Wave 4 related article I had a look at Video Messages service and upon playing around with it I found some new themes in the options drop down menu, but its not yet possible to use them, it just sets the header to the default and as far as I can tell there will be at least 10 themes.
As can be seen in the above image there are themes there that haven’t been available before and I noticed a similarity between one image and a Windows 7 wallpaper. If you look at the third image along the top row you should be able to see his mates in the below images. However the exact picture used in the thumbnail of little guy in Windows Live theme can not be found from the Windows wallpaper.
Seeing the similarity between this theme and a Windows 7 Wallpaper I has a look for other linked themes and wallpapers and ended up being able to make a table about them.

The different Windows 7 Wallpaper sets:
Its good to see that people can set their Windows Live services to compliment Windows 7 and maybe we will even be able to set our own images as the theme.
