IEtweak

While the vast majority of users avoid using Microsoft's Internet Explorer due to the fact that it seems slower compared to other browsers, other users refuse to employ it do it its looks.

IEtweak is a utility designed to help you customize the appearance of the Windows default browser and thus, making it look fresher and more modern.

The installation is quite fast and should not present any issues regardless of the capabilities of your computer. You can simply unpack the archive, access the executable file and everything should work out smoothly.

The interface consists of an old-fashion, crowded and small window. It is necessary to mention that the color theme was chosen poorly and that some users could have a hard time identifying the small menus.

The menus are poorly made as it does not allow you to view the options included in each tab. In fact, if you hover your mouse over the app, you can notice that the options are replaced by a general description text, a feature that is irritating.

IEtweak does not shine in terms of customization and editing options either. Not only does it come with  very few presents for improving the browser's looks, but if you want to employ your own designs and templates, you need to make sure they are in BMP format.

Then again, the app allows you to improve IE's functionality slightly by increasing the number of downloads it can perform from the same server to 15 or more. At the same time, you can specify a dedicated folder and set a default search engine.

Even after applying all desired modifications via this program, the chances are slim that your Internet Explorer can become comparable to its main competitors. On the other hand, IEtweak can provide some help in improving your browser's looks if you are running it on an older operating system.
