You can even specify how much space should be between the individual icons,
both vertically and horizontally.
The Show shortcut arrow option is very interesting. If you do not wish to have
the small arrow displayed on shortcuts, you can disable it by clearing the check
box in front of this option. Many users are bothered by this arrow.
Repair
It is of course fun to change the Windows icons and to add your personal touch
here and there. But what do you do when your changes are not applied, or when
Windows starts mixing up your icons altogether?
Reloading icons
In this case, click Repair in the navigation bar and then click Reload Icons. And
the display errors will disappear.
Repairing the icon cache
If reloading the icons doesn't help, there may be a serious problem in your icon
cache. The icon cache is a file in which Windows stores all of the icons that it
has ever displayed so that they can be shown more quickly in the future. And
when a mistake finds its way into this file, this can corrupt all of the icons.
Fortunately, this problem can be corrected directly in TuneUp Styler. All you
have to do is click Repair Icon Cache. You must restart to complete the repair.
Boot Screen Category
When Windows starts up, a black screen with an animated progress bar at the
bottom is shown by default. With Windows XP, the Windows logo is also
displayed in the center.
You can use TuneUp Styler to replace this boot screen with just a few mouse
clicks, or you can create your own personal boot screen, for example with your
favorite vacation photo.
Click Boot screen in the navigation bar to go to this part of TuneUp Styler.
The module will list all available boot screens. The first time you use the
module, the only screen in the list will be the default Windows boot screen. Add
additional pre-made screens to the list, or create your own.
