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, believe that a lot of people heard of it, but few of us really used, just because we are accustomed to the most common WinRAR and the once - great WinZIP. Anyway, 7-Zip is the one which currently has a extremely high compression ratio archiver (developed by Igor Pavlov from Russia), this also is the most important technical characteristics measure for such applications. In addition, 7-Zip releases based under GNU LGPL , so it is open source and free.
