Vista Visual Master is the best program at personalising the Vista operating system that I've seen and not had to pay for.
 |
| Vista Visual Master is one of the simplest ways yet to customise the Windows Vista set up, including themes, wallpaper and icon choices. |
This China-made program comes advertised as system customising software, but that is slightly misleading. Almost all of the changes it makes are, well, visual, rather than getting under the hood and wrestling with some of the horrible Vista "features" such as UAC and the firewall. Just so you know.
What it does, however, it does brilliantly, and proves that appearance certainly does matter. After you use this program for a bit, Vista will look a lot more how you like it, and prove once again that these machines are personal computers.
The program is dead-easy to use. Start it up and you have some initial choices you can make immediately, and a menu list of other general areas on the left.
Right away, for example, you can turn off the Vista Sidebar (a lovely feature that hogs more resources than the elephant in the room), add or delete icons on your desktop, or simply turn off all icon display.
Other choices guide you through various Vista displays. You can do a complete theme change at one click - you'll need the theme displays of course - or change one or many desktop icons, or get Vista to show you entirely different icons for, say, your word processing files or web browser.
The photos you see on your desktop and boot screen can easily be changed.
This is very nice and - best of all - extremely simply software for anyone who cares how their Vista looks.
Vista Visual Master for both 32- and 64-bit versions of Vista is available from the generous Chinese makers at (http://www.vista123.net)
