7Conifier

7Conifier is a software utility which is dedicated to Windows 7 users, and enables them to access and apply some customizable icon packs for the taskbar and Start menu.

The installation process can be skipped altogether, as this app is portable. As a result, the Windows registry is not going to be affected in any way, and removing it is not going to leave any kind of traces behind.

Another important aspect is that you can use 7Conifier on any computer you come across, by simply moving the program files to a USB thumb drive.

This program incorporated three icon packages you can easily preview, switch between, as well as edit them or add new ones. To be more precise, you can view and change the name of the icon pack, author and e-mail address, date, copyright notice and other comments.

Icons can be listed in a dedicated pane, along with details such as picture, app name, target and location where to display it (taskbar, Start menu or both). Moreover, you should know you can edit already existing entries, as well as add new icons, using ICO pictures.

It is possible to also create your own icon pack from scratch, and apply it, with just a click of the button. Keyboard shortcuts are supported, yet they cannot be customized.

The computer’s performance is not going to be hindered, as CPU and memory usage is quite low at all times. The response time is good and the interface is dedicated to all types of users.

Taking all of this into consideration, it is safe to say that 7Conifier is an efficient piece of software, which did not pop any errors or crash in our tests.
