TuneUp Styler
Windows would not be very useful without its graphical user interface. The importance of
an attractive interface is clear in Windows Vista. 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 what they consider a "candy" look. 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 welcome screen? Anyone who shares a computer with others or has
a password-protected user account sees it every day: a mixture of blue tones. And there is
no way built into Windows to change this.
Or what about the boot screen and the animated Vista Start logo? Neither can be
modified or replaced with the tools built into Windows.
TuneUp Styler, however, allows you to change the boot and logon screens however you
like.
The standard options you are given to customize the appearance of all windows and
buttons (the so-called visual style) are also limited. You can either use the new interface
or the old Windows classic
TuneUp Utilities has its own module dedicated entirely to letting you customize the
appearance of your system,
