40 TuneUp Utilities 2006

Windows would not be very useful without its graphical user interface. How
important an attractive interface is can be seen on the basis of Windows XP and
how the entire system feels at once fresher and more modern.
But just as in fashion, it’s easy to get tired of the new design, not to mention the
people who have always been bothered by all of the “eye candy” in the interface.
Wouldn’t it be practical to be able to change the appearance of Windows?
Take the icons for example. These little square pictures are everywhere, in the
Start menu, in file dialogs and of course on the desktop. Is there a way to lend all
of these icons a new look with a few mouse clicks?
And what about the logon screen? Anyone who shares their computer with
others or has a password to protect his user account sees it every day: a mixture
of different blue tones. And there is no way built into Windows to change this.
Or what about the boot screen? The well-known logo that is shown on the
screen while Windows XP starts can't be replaced or changed without additional
tools, either.
Windows also only provides you with a limited number of options for changing
the appearance of all windows and buttons (the so-called visual style): you can
choose between the new Luna interface and the old Windows Classic interface.
In order to help you with all of these changes and to let you adapt how your
Windows interface looks, TuneUp Utilities 2006 has a separate module
dedicated entirely to the appearance of Windows: TuneUp Styler. Start this
module whenever you want to give your system a digital makeover.
