Appearance options

Aero Colors

These options are inherited from my famous AeroTuner application and available for Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. It allows changing many Aero related hidden secret parameters in Windows 7. You can also sync the Aero color and the Start screen color in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. In Windows 8, it also includes «Enable Window Colorization» and «High Contrast Mode» hidden settings.

Customize Shortcut Arrow

Customize or remove the shortcut overlay icon in Explorer. This will restart Explorer automatically.

Customize Window Borders

Customize the size of the window frame. You can reduce or enlarge it.

Slow down window animations

When enabled, you can slow down window animations by pressing and holding the Shift key. This is the the animation you see when minimizing, maximizing or closing a window.

Sync Metro/Aero Color (Windows 8/Windows 8.1)

Apply the color of the Start Screen to window borders and vice versa.

Operating system behaviour options: Disable «Look for an app in the Store» Notification (Windows 8/Windows 8.1)

Disable «Look for an app in the Store» option when an unknown file type is opened. When disabled, Windows will only show a dialog with apps installed on your PC.

Disable Aero Shake

The Aero Shake feature minimizes all other background windows when you shake the active window. Here you can disable or enable it.

Disable Aero Snap

Disable the window snapping behavior, that is, the resizing and repositioning of a window that happens when you drag it and touch the pointer to the left, top or right edges of the screen.

Disable New Apps Notification(Windows 8/Windows 8.1)

Enable or disable the notification «You have new apps that can open this type of file» for newly installed apps.

Boot and Logon options: Disable Lock Screen (Windows 8/Windows 8.1)

Here you can disable the Lock Screen if you do not want it or need it.

Don't display last login user name

When enabled, Windows will not display the last user that successfully signed in on the Login screen.

Enable CTRL + ALT + DEL logon requirement

Enable or disable the CTRL + ALT + DELETE sequence for logging on in Windows. This can require users to press CTRL+ALT+DELETE before logging on.

Verbose Logon Messages

Enable or disable verbose sign-in status messages. Verbose status messages may be helpful when you are troubleshooting slow startup, shutdown, logon, or logoff behavior.

User accounts: Disable or Enable UAC

Enable or disable User Account Control (UAC) confirmations and prompts. Disabling UAC is not secure, but it makes Windows less annoying.

Enable Built-in Administrator

The default account named «Administrator» remains disabled and hidden since Windows Vista. Here you can enable or disable the built-in Administrator account.

Pinning options (Windows 8/Windows 8.1): Enable «Pin To Start» for all files

Enable or disable the «Pin To Start» context menu command for all files and folders.

Network options: Enable Network Drives over UAC

Enable access to mapped Network Drives from elevated apps. By default it is turned off, so any elevated app can't access your mapped network drive.

Enable TCP/IP Router

Enable or disable Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) forwarding to use with apps like OpenVPN. By default, TCP/IP forwarding is not enabled in Windows OS.
