As a free, open-source and extremely powerful file archiver, more and more people are beginning to use 7-Zip as a necessary file compression/decompression tool in their computers. If you've used WinRAR before, you may be wondering if 7-Zip is too "plain" (or a little ugly, I should say). This does degrade the user experience and give an immediate impression that it is not as friendly and reliable as WinRAR. Fortunately, there is a tool available to beautify 7-Zip and make it look better.

7-Zip Theme Manager (7zTM for short) is a third-party icon beautifier/changer specially made for 7-Zip that allows you to modify the toolbar icons on 7-Zip's program interface and the associated file icons of 7-Zip. It integrates 90 different toolbar themes and 22 file type themes (package icons). You can choose and switch between these themes freely, preview them in real time, and apply them with one click.

If you've switched from WinRAR to 7-Zip, you'll think that 7-Zip's user interface is too monotonous and boring (and it has never changed), and looks not nearly as comfortable as WinRAR's. For now, if you want a better looking 7-Zip, the 7-Zip Theme Manager is enough. Of course, people who use 7-Zip are interested in its professional and powerful features, not what it looks like. But looks are always important, just like people in life.
