WinRAR is a great tool, that’s for sure. It’s installed on millions of computers from all over the world, which is obviously a sign that it remains one of the most powerful compression apps ever created.

But despite being so great, WinRAR still looks like it has been created 20 years ago, as its interface is very old and classy, without too many eye candy and appealing design elements.

WinRAR 3.40 GUI Patch is what could make WinRAR a complete product because it comes with a facelift for its interface, turning the old-school application we all know into a handsome compression tool.

Basically an add-on, WinRAR 3.40 GUI Patch can be installed quick and easy and the setup kit does the whole job. It automatically detects the location where WinRAR resides and copies its files over the original application, thus replacing the interface elements it needs.

The resulting appearance is much more attractive than the classic one, although some of us here at Softpedia think the new buttons are too bulky and a bit too big.

Unfortunately, there aren’t too many options when it comes to this interface upgrade, so what you see is what you get.

Probably the only sad thing is that it only works with WinRAR 3.40, so in case you’re using a newer flavor of the compression tool, you’re stuck with the old and boring appearance.
