CustoPack Tools is a free software that allows you to easily customize Windows appearance through the installation of packs. It is compatible with Windows XP (32-bit), Windows Vista (32 or 64-bit), and Windows 7 (32 or 64-bit).
You can customize your icons, your background, your visual style and many more, all that FOR FREE and in a few clicks thanks to a selection of CustoPacks themes. And if you have the soul of an artist, you can also create your own packs.
The software splits into 3 parts:
Choose a CustoPack: Designed for general public, this part allows you to install a CustoPack (among those you have downloaded and installed) in order to customize the appearance of your Windows.
Create a CustoPack: Designed for a public more informed, this part allows you to create your own CustoPack with elements which you made or selected.
Settings and configuration: This part allows you to set CustoPack Tools options and to configure some system options.

You should just delete Norton....

Potential users should also be aware: during installation, you'll be asked if you want to install the Ask.com toolbar. Be sure to DISABLE that checkbox (and the "make Ask.com my default search" one, too) if you don't want that crap infesting your browser. Personally, I really, truly dislike software that asks to install crap like this; it tends to really lower my opinion of authors who add this junk to their software installations.

This is some kind of Bricopack (remember that crap?) evolution. Beware! This thing changes some system files and may screw up your system.
I personally hate these kind of modifications that I cannot control.

First and foremost, VG checks the software ( at least on one OS) before he posts it so I respect each and every of his posts.
Secondly, it is always advisable to create a windows restore point before trying this type of Software.
Thirdly, these developers need great credit for allocating their time and resources to make this type of software. LUCKILY for you, they have made it free, so how do you think they can get money to repay for what they have spend? ask.com pays them to put their ad into the installer, it is YOUR option whether you want it or not.
Nice post VG, will check it out...

Hi, and thanks to VG for this article :)
Netbox >>
First I am sincerely sorry about the problem you have encountered
We’ve made a period of beta tests (with more than 150 beta testers through the world) and we have never encountered this type of bug.
After some searchs, this bug is related to the logonui.exe file. Apparently, this bug sometimes also occurs with Stardock « LogonStudio » software. We are trying to understand why this happens.
For information it is possible to by-pass logonui.exe with several CTRL+ALT+DEL. So you can have a new Windows access and you can uninstall the pack. I will add it in the FAQ if somebody else was unfortunately encountered this problem ;) .
What is the language of your Windows ?
Did you still have the logonuicpt.exe file exe (C:\WINDOWS\system32) generated by CustoPack Tools in order to analyse it ?
Thank you for your help in advance.
SCBright >> You can select options when you install a CustoPack. Of course if you don’t want to have sytem files changes you can uncheck "dll modification".
MuTz777 >> Thank you :)

Just installed iMod! What a brilliant desktop! :D ! No problems during installation, but I would prefer to use RK launcher instead of Rocket Dock, its much better ;)

I've tried it on XP SP3 and it worked fine, then un-installed it to see if things get crappy, and everything was fine too.
then re-installed it again
it's a nice software, better than vistamizer and the rest
