The 7-Zip Theme Manager can then be used to change the interface of the program itself as well as the icons in Windows Explorer. Each 7-Zip theme comes with a preview image of how the interface would look like if it would be applied to 7-Zip. Between 30-40 different themes are available ranging from graphically stunning themes like Vista Inspirat to playful themes like Star Wars or Futurama.

A click on the Activate Theme button will activate that theme. It is important that 7-Zip is closed during the procedure to avoid complications. 7-Zip will automatically use the activated theme from then on. More than 10 different filetype icons are available as well in the theme manager that can replace the original 7-Zip icons in Windows Explorer. The name of the theme or icon, the creator, license and website are listed below the theme preview window.

7-Zip Default:

7-Zip Vista Inspirat Theme:

The default 7-Zip theme and icons can be activated in the 7-Zip Theme Manager as well to undo the changes. The theme manager contains one additional button that will look for a new 7-Zip and theme version on the Internet.

Five Alienware themes are available after installation which can transform the Windows graphical user interface into futuristic looking interfaces. By default every aspect of the interface is changed which includes the background image, the system icons, color schemes, fonts and menu layout.

A click on the advanced link during setup gives the user the option to prevent elements from being installed. He could for instance opt out of installing the wallpaper image or the icon set. Usage itself is pretty straightforward. All five themes are available after installation.

A click on a theme loads a preview of it in the right pane. If you want to apply it click the apply button which will load another window with the advanced options I have mentioned earlier on. If you like Sci-Fi this could be something you definitely would want to try out. The icons and color schemes are top notch although I prefer lighter colors over dark ones used by the themes. Only the wallpapers seem to fall behind but it is not a problem to add your own custom wallpaper after applying the theme.
