3. Tweaks
With SystemTweaker, customizing your operating system is easy and straightforward. This section of the
manual will explain the basic procedure of applying a tweak and then provide a basic description of the
different tweaks available.
3.1 Applying tweaks
To apply a tweak, bring up the tweaks page by selecting
Tweaks
from the navigation panel. The left hand
side menu will allow you to select from different tweak categories, classified according to the part of the
operating system they affect.
Each category lists a number of tweaks with corresponding tick boxes. Tick or untick the box or boxes of
the tweaks you would like to change. The
Apply
button on the bottom right will turn from grey to blue to
indicate that there are changes to implement. Click
Apply
and your tweaks will be implemented.
Note: Some tweaks will only be implemented after you restart your system. A pop-up will inform you when-
ever this is the case.
3.2
Tweaks outlined
This section provides a basic description of the tweaks you can apply through SystemTweaker. As some
tweaks are only available for particular operating systems, each tweak will be listed together with the ver-
sion of Windows it applies to.
3. 21 Start menu
Start menu tweaks allow you to customize and streamline the Start menu to your taste.
Show Start menu icon tweaks (XP, Vista, 7)
These tweaks allow you to show or omit icons from the Start menu. You can choose to include only the
most important icons to facilitate the selection process or, for example, choose to include icons that are not
available by default.
Enable Start menu scrolling (XP, Vista, 7)
Without Start menu scrolling, if there are too many icons in the Start menu to display in a single column,
Windows will use multiple columns. With Start menu scrolling, Windows keeps the single column format
but adds scrolling functionality.
