Customize your copy of Windows with something different.
The
Windows XP interface is rather dull in comparison with other more modern like that of
Windows Vista, Windows 7 or
Ubuntu, to set a couple of examples. And due to this, many of the users of this operating system decide to customize it to give it something more of personality.
A very curious tool to be able to customize Windows XP is
UberIcon, a small program that by means of
plugins (some are installed with a program and other that can be downloaded from the creators website)
apply effects to the icons when they are activated.
Among the effects we will be able to see one that makes the icon to expand before disappearing, another that makes the icon become many small ones and even one that makes them blur.
The program doesn't include a user interface, it is only
reflected by a small icon in the system tray. If we select the icon with the left mouse button we will have access to all the options that the program offers, and we will be able to configure it in a quick and simple manor.
To sum up, if you want to give your Windows XP copy a special touch,
download and install
UberIcon.
Requirements: It only works on Windows XP or earlier.
