What you need to know
- February 14 is Valentine's Day.
- Microsoft has a four-set theme of desktop wallpapers to celebrate the occasion.
- Microsoft says the images are only to be used as desktop wallpapers.
The four flavors of the Valentine-themed set are:
- red with an emphasis on pink
- red with an emphasis on white
- red with an emphasis on black
- red with an emphasis on red
This isn't unusual for Microsoft; there's typically a holiday-themed wallpaper floating around somewhere for big happenings. Recall the snow-and-cold Windows 11 wallpaper used to ring in the winter holidays a few months ago. And don't forget the soothing pastels of the Windows 11 SE wallpaper, or the wallpaper honoring Pantone's color of the year, Very Peri (it's just a weird way to say purple).
Use those above links to find a wallpaper that suits your current mood if you're not feeling the red aesthetic of Valentine's Day. Or, stick with the hearts and get festive.
It's that special time of the year again: The time when cartoon hearts are everywhere, doing their darndest to look as unlike a real heart as possible. Adorn your Windows with cartoon hearts now.
