Free picture pack and theme: Alpha Dog

Don't you just love free themes and picture packs? They give you that warm fuzzy feeling, that urge to want to succeed, and those happy shakes. So with that, Major Nelson sends word that Universal Pictures is offering a free picture pack and theme for their upcoming movie Alpha Dog.

We understand that these offerings are just more marketing for their little movie, but for those of you who like to use custom backgrounds and hate not being able to match your guide to it, then we have a little trick for you. When you change the background of your dashboard it will keep the last theme's colors/design for the guide. So, if you collect all of these free themes you'll have numerous different guide colors/designs to choose from. Then you can mix and match these colors/designs with your own custom backgrounds and shazaam! A matching (moderately custom) guide for your customized background. Pretty nifty trick huh? We thought of it ourselves.

Note: This Alpha Dog theme's guide is original grey, so our little customization idea doesn't really apply ... oh well.
