It basically comes down to selecting a new bootskin and pressing apply. Bootskin comes with five boot skins preinstalled and more than 6000 can be downloaded from the WinCustomize website. You can find all kinds of boot skins on that website, from seasonal ones to TV shows, Movies, Celebrities and Art.

The website unfortunately displays only 8 boot skins per page which means that a user who wants to see them all has to view more than 800 pages on that website. Boot skins can be sorted by a number of criteria including rating, download and picks from the staff.

Cautious users will be delighted to hear that it is always possible to revert back to the original Windows boot skin which can be selected in the program interface just like any other boot skin.

One interesting feature is to randomly select a boot skin during Windows startup, great for users who like more than one boot skin and do not want to make a decision.

There is no use for bootskin if you do not have graphics that you can use. Wincustomize has a bootskin section with more than 3800 bootskins that can be sorted in many ways. The most popular skins for example can be seen if you chose downloads overall and Desc from the search field without entering a search term.

The freeware bootskin is easy to use. At start it displays a list of all available skins and you simply select one from the list with the option to preview the skin and then apply it if you like it.
