Vista has six default folder templates you can choose and change for the type of file folders you have in a Windows Explorer window. By default Vista will automatically assign a Folder Type Template to the Explorer window according to what type of files it contains. However, Vista will only use the default Folder Templates for external devices each time you open them since Vista will not remember the folder view settings when you turn off or remove the external media.
All Items template
Contacts template
Documents template
Pictures and Videos template
Music Details template
Music Icons template
How to Change a Windows Explorer Folder Type Template?
1. Open a Explorer window that you want to change the folder type template for.
NOTE: To change the root directory (Computer or Local Disk C: ) template, open the Users folder in Local Disk C: . The changes in Users will be applied to the root directory as well. Be sure to also do the Apply to All Folder Type Templates section below, or it will not apply to the Computer or Local Disk C: location.
2. If you want to change all the folders templates in the current window then:
A) Click on View or right click in a empty area of the window.
B) Click on Customize This Folder.
3. If you want to change just a single folder template in the current window then:
A) Right click on the folder.
B) Click Properties.
4. Click on the Customize tab.
NOTE: Check Also apply this template to all subfolders if you want to change the templates for the subfolders in this folder as well.
5. Click on the drop down menu and choose a template.
6. Click OK to apply and close properties window.
7. Your template has been applied.

人的气血盛衰，常常从面色显示出来。面色可以说是健康的温度计，能反映人体的健康状况。
“《黄帝内经》形容健康的面色叫作‘白绢裹朱砂’，即看上去如白色的丝绢裹着朱砂，白里透红；而不健康的人则常常表现出多种异常的脸色，如苍白、潮红、青紫、发黄、黑色等。”中国中医科学院西苑医院李跃华教授说。
面色苍白：中医学认为大多为虚证、寒证或失血。呼吸系统状况不佳脸色会发白；久病体虚、大出血、慢性肾炎等也会使面色发白；有贫血倾向的人，会因为血色素不足而使面色呈现白兼萎黄色。
面色潮红：多为热证。血得热则行，脉络充盈，血流加速则皮肤呈现红色。高血压患者就常常红光满面；结核病患者由于低热，会颧部绯红。
面色青紫：多为气血不通、脉络阻滞所致。心力衰竭、先天性心脏病、肝病导致血液中废物过多等，都会使面色变为青紫。
面色发黄：中医学认为，黄色鲜明属于湿热，黄色晦暗多属于寒湿；面色萎黄，多为心脾虚弱、营血不足；面黄浮肿为脾虚有湿。
面色发黑：多属肾病或血瘀证，常为重病。此外，长期使用某些药物，如砷剂、抗癌药等，亦可引起不同程度的面色发黑。
就面色光泽和湿润度而言，健康的皮肤皮脂（油分）和汗（水分）的分泌畅通，皮肤会保持柔软。气候原因可引起皮肤干燥，如多风、寒冷等。某些疾病也会使皮肤干燥，例如糖尿病，葡萄糖水平的波动会使皮肤变得干燥、手感粗糙。
李跃华教授建议，面色发白的人如果没有特别的病症表现，食补是最好的办法。可多补充鱼肉、鸡肉、黑豆、菠菜等食物，必要的话，食用一些红枣、枸杞、龙眼等补益气血之品。面色潮红的人应尽量避免刺激性食物，避免面部冷热刺激。寒证患者，可以多吃些牛羊肉、胡椒、生姜来发热，促进新陈代谢。对于偏食、营养不均衡引起的面色偏黄，就要纠正不良的饮食习惯。面色发黑的肾病患者应多食用具有补肾作用的食物或药物，如核桃、木耳、黑豆、黑芝麻等。

A book, “MediaWiki Skins Design” by Richard Carter, is the first book I’ve read regarding MediaWiki templates design.
This book explains how to design and make attractive MediaWiki templates, it also presents many examples for using CSS to make the layout. The book is easy to read and follow, it’s a good guidance for who want to design MediaWiki templates with little MediaWiki experience.
If you want to look for something in MediaWiki design, you might want to take a look at this one, click here to preview one of the charpter.
