Please note that this function is not available in Windows 8.
Here you can change what is known as the visual style. This defines the appearance of windows and Windows
buttons.
Here's how it works:
Start the AVG Styler module by going to the Personalize category in the Start Center and clicking on the
Personalize the appearance of Windows entry in the Change Windows appearance area.
In AVG Styler in the left-hand window area under Interface, click Visual Style.
AVG Styler displays a list of all available visual styles. On the right, you can see a preview and other
details of the style selected in the list.
You can add new visual styles to the list before finally accepting them. To do so you have the following
options:
Downloading visual styles from AVG Online
In the top left under Visual Styles click Add.
Select the entry Download Visual Styles from AVG Online.
This takes you to a website where you can choose from a wide range of visual styles that you can
download for free at any time.
Click on a visual style that you particularly like.
This is automatically opened with AVG Styler and added to the list.
Adding Visual Styles From a File
In the top left under Visual Styles click Add.
Select Load visual styles from a file.
An Explorer window opens and you can select a visual style on your computer or an external storage
